Find the counterclockwise circulation and outward flux of the field F=7xyi+5y^2j around and over the boundary of the region C enclosed by the curves y=x^2 and y=x in the first quadrant.

Split up the boundary of C (which I denote ∂C throughout) into the parabolic segment from (1, 1) to (0, 0) (the part corresponding to y = x ²), and the line segment from (1, 1) to (0, 0) (the part of ∂C on the line y = x).

Parameterize these pieces respectively by

r(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j = t i + t ² j

and

s(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j = (1 - t ) i + (1 - t ) j

both with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

The circulation of F around ∂C is given by the line integral with respect to arc length,

where T denotes the tangent vector to ∂C. Split up the integral over each piece of ∂C :

• on the parabolic segment, we have

T = dr/dt = i + 2t j

• on the line segment,

T = ds/dt = -i - j

Then the circulation is

Alternatively, we can use Green's theorem to compute the circulation, as

The flux of F across ∂C is

where N is the normal vector to ∂C. While T = x'(t) i + y'(t) j, the normal vector is N = y'(t) i - x'(t) j.

• on the parabolic segment,

N = 2t i - j

• on the line segment,

N = - i + j

So the flux is

3; 9 is 8 to -4
