Question
Q5 vector field,
In Cartesian coordinates, a vector fiekd takes the form
F = 2rz1+ 2y=J+ (r² + y³) k
This question concerns the vector fickd F defined in Question 5.
(b) Calculate the line integral of F along a straight-line path starting at the
origin and ending at the point (a, b, c). This path has the parametrie
representation
I= at, y= bt, z=et (0<t< 1).
(c) Given that the point (a, b, c) could be anywhere, use your answer to
part (b) to find the scalar potential funetion U(1,y, 2) corresponding
to F, such that F = -VU.
(d) Hence, or otherwise, caleulate the value of the line integral of F along a
path defined by the parametric equations
2
I= cos t, y = sin t, z=t (0<t< x).
(Hint: You can use the potential function U caleulated in part (c) to
evaluate this line integral.)
