Faraday's law -- How is the RHS required for all surfaces?

AI Thread Summary
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.

Homework Statement
My question is how do we know that faraday's law right side is required for all surfaces.
Relevant Equations
∫_c Edl =-d/dt ∫_s Bda
c Edl =-d/dt∫sBda

do you mean why the right side is independent of the surface s as long as we keep the curve c , the boundary of the surface the same? This is a consequence of Stoke's Theorem (or curl theorem).

Since ##\nabla\cdot \vec{B}=0## (Gauss's law for magnetism) we can set ##\vec{B}=\nabla\times\vec{A}##. Stokes theorem tell us that $$\iint_S \vec{B}\cdot d\vec{S}=\iint _S(\nabla\times \vec{A})\cdot d\vec{S}=\oint_C\vec{A}\cdot d\vec{l}$$ so the surface integral of B over S will equal the line integral of A over the curve C, thus it remains constant for all surfaces S with the same boundary C.
 
Yes this is what I meat, thanks for answer.

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
