Theory-1: Line Integrals Theory-2: Distance along a curve

r(t) = Parametrization of curve C


S(t) = distance along curve
|V(t)| = ds/dt = velocity vector length

ds = |V(t)| dt

Additivity Example 2
Figure shows another path from the origin to (1,1,1),
If a piecewise smooth curve C is made by
formed by two line segments C1 and C2. Integrate the function over C1 union C2.
Joining a finite number of smooth curves
C1, C2, . . . , Cn end to end, then the Solution
Selecting simplest parameterization & |V(t)| = dr(t)/dt
integral of a function over C
is the sum of the integrals over the curves that make it up

A curve defined by x=f(t), and y=g(t) is


smooth
if f′(x) and g′(x)
are continuous and not simultaneously zero

Notice three items Example 3


1. As soon as the components of the appropriate curve were
substituted into the formula for ƒ, Solution
the integration became a standard integration with respect to t

2. The integral of ƒ over C1 U C2 as obtained by


Integrating ƒ over each section of the path and
adding the results
3. The integrals of ƒ over C and C1 U C2 had different values.

Example 4 Observation

The integrals are same even


if the two parameterizations
of C have opposite
Solution
orientations.

The value of a line integral of f with respect to s along C,


does not depend on an orientation of C.
Because ∆Sk is always positive

Example 5
Evaluate the line integral of f = xy+z3, from (1, 0, 0) to (−1, 0, π) along the
helix C that is represented by the parametric equations
x = cos t, y = sin t, z = t; (0 ≤ t ≤ π)
