SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the true or false evaluation of statements regarding the vector field F = (P, Q, R) defined on V = R³ - {0, 0, 0}. The consensus is that statement 2 is true, as the vector field is conservative in V if the curl (rot) of F is null. The other statements are deemed false, primarily due to the specific conditions of the integrals over spheres and circumferences, which would differ if generalized to closed surfaces and curves. The author expresses uncertainty about the terminology used, particularly the distinction between "circumference" and "closed curve."

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector calculus concepts, specifically divergence and curl.
  • Familiarity with line and surface integrals in three-dimensional space.
  • Knowledge of conservative vector fields and their properties.
  • Basic comprehension of C1 vector fields and their definitions.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of conservative vector fields in R³.
  • Learn about the implications of Stokes' Theorem on line and surface integrals.
  • Research the differences between closed curves and circumferences in vector calculus.
  • Explore the conditions under which the curl of a vector field is zero and its implications.
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physics students, and anyone studying vector calculus, particularly those interested in the properties of vector fields and their integrals.

##F = (P,Q,R)## is a field of vector C1 defined on ##V = R3-{0,0,0}##

There are a lot of true or false statement here. I am a little skeptical about my answer because it contains a lot of F, but let's go.

1 Rot of F is null in V iff ##\int \int_{S} P dx + Q dy + R dz = 0## for all sphere S belonging to V oriented outside.

2 F is conservative in V iff rot of F is null in V

3 P,Q and R are positive iff ##\int \int_{S} P dx + Q dy + R dz > 0## for all sphere S belonging to V oriented outside.

4 F is gradient in V iff ##\int \int_{S} P dx + Q dy + R dz = 0## for all sphere S belonging to V oriented outside.

5 F is null in V iff ##\int \int_{S} P dx + Q dy + R dz = 0## for all sphere S belonging to Voriented outside.

6 rot of F is null in V iff ##\int \int_{C} P dx + Q dy + R dz = 0# for all circumference oriented with C belonging to V

7 P,Q,R are positie iff ##\int \int_{C} P dx + Q dy + R dz>0## for all circumference C belonging to V

8 F is gradient in V iff ##\int \int_{C} P dx + Q dy + R dz = 0## for all circumference C belonging to V

9 F is null in V iff ##\int \int_{C} P dx + Q dy + R dz = 0## for all circumference C belonging to V

To be pretty honest, i am not sure if the author really want to means "if" instead of "iff", or if he commited a typo writing "circumference C" instead of "closed curve C". But in the way it is, i found too much F! see

1 F
2 T
(3 ... 9) F

So only the 2 seems true to me, since R3 minus origin is simply connected and the vector is C1.
All the others answer would be really different if C were just a closed curve, not a circumference. Or if S were a closed surface, not a sphere.
I have some doubts, are my answers right? Or there is some special proeprty about circumference that i am missing that changes all the answer.

First of all for statements 1,3,4,5 do you mean the surface integral $$\iint_S \vec{F}\cdot \vec{n} dS$$ and for statements 6,7,8,9 do you mean the line integral $$\oint_C\vec{F}\cdot d\vec{r}$$?

Given that you mean the above, I agree with your answers and also I agree that some would be True if instead of "any sphere S" we had "any closed surface S" or instead of "any circumference C" we had "any closed curve C"
