The discussion clarifies that the right-hand side of Faraday's law is independent of the surface as long as the boundary curve remains the same, a result derived from Stokes' Theorem. It explains that since the divergence of the magnetic field B is zero, B can be expressed as the curl of a vector potential A. Stokes' Theorem establishes the relationship between the surface integral of B and the line integral of A along the boundary curve. This means that the integral remains constant for all surfaces sharing the same boundary. The conversation emphasizes the mathematical foundation behind these electromagnetic principles.
