Stokes' theorem

Stokes's theorem, also known as the Kelvin–Stokes theorem after Lord Kelvin and George Stokes, the fundamental theorem for curls or simply the curl theorem, is a theorem in vector calculus on R3. Given a vector field, the theorem relates the integral of the curl of the vector field over some surface, to the line integral of the vector field around the boundary of the surface. The classical Stokes' theorem can be stated in one sentence: The line integral of a vector field over a loop is equal to the flux of its curl through the enclosed surface. Stokes' theorem is a special case of the generalized Stokes' theorem. In particular, a vector field on R3 can be considered as a 1-form in which case its curl is its exterior derivative, a 2-form.

What is Stokes theorem? - Formula and examples

► My Vectors course: https://www.kristakingmath.com/vectors-course Where Green's theorem is a two-dimensional theorem that relates a line integral to the region it surrounds, Stokes theorem is a three-dimensional version relating a line integral to the surface it surrounds. For that reaso

Stokes Theorem

In this video, I present another example of Stokes theorem, this time using it to calculate the line integral of a vector field. It is a very useful theorem that arises a lot in physics, for example in Maxwell's equations. Other Stokes Example: https://youtu.be/-fYbBSiqvUw Yet another Sto

Stokes Theorem

In this video, I present Stokes' Theorem, which is a three-dimensional generalization of Green's theorem. It relates the line integral of a vector field over a curve to the surface integral of the curl of that vector field over the corresponding surface. After presenting an example, I expl

Stokes' Theorem // Geometric Intuition & Statement // Vector Calculus

We're finally at one of the core theorems of vector calculus: Stokes' Theorem. We've seen the 2D version of this theorem before when we studied Green's Theorem which compared the circulation around a 2D curve to integrating the circulation density along the region. In contrast, Stokes Theo

Stokes's Theorem

Stokes's Theorem is kind of like Green's Theorem, whereby we can evaluate some multiple integral rather than a tricky line integral. This works for some surface integrals too. Let's see how it works! Script by Howard Whittle Watch the whole Mathematics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMat
