So I'm able to calculate them no problem. But the problem is, I don't really understand what they mean. For example, W=∫Fdr
I understand that a vector field is something that defines a vector at every point. Then if we pick a curve in the field, we are integrating along that curve. So does it just give the area under that curve? And wouldn't the area under that curve be the same regardless of if the vector field is there or not? Would appreciate someone clearing this up for me :)
