Homework Statement
As a part of bigger HW problem, I need to calculate the integral:
\oint[\hat{r}+\hat{z}]d\phi
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
In cylindrical coordinates:
=[\hat{r}+\hat{z}] \ointd\phi
=2∏[\hat{r}+\hat{z}]
On the other hand if I convert it to Cartesian coordinates:
\oint[cos\phi\hat{x}+sin\phi\hat{y}+ \hat{z}]d\phi
=2∏\hat{z}
So, what is it that I am doing wrong in the case with cylindrical coordinates? I'm sure I'm missing something very basic.
Thanks.
