A part of the engineering mathematics course notes from eskişehir technical university, turkey. It covers the concepts of work done by a force in vector fields, line integrals, and the fundamental theory of calculus. How to find the work done by a force to move an electrical charge along a curve described by a vector function in some electromagnetic field.

Work done by the Force
Let F be a constant force (along the direction of motion) applied to move an object along a straight segment d. Then, W = F · d corresponds to work done by the force F. However, the above formula only holds whenever the angle between the direction of the force and the direction of the motion is constant.

Let us parametrize the curve by the vector function r = [x(t), y(t)], where t 0 ≤ t ≤ tf such that r(t 0 ) = A and r(tf ) = B.
Work done in a vector field: Line Integral
Let us consider to find the work done by the force F to move a electrical charge on an infinitesimal piece of the curve from position r(t) to r(t + ∆t). Then, the distance vector is
d = r(t + ∆t) − r(t) = r′∆t,
and the work done in this segment is
F · d = F(r)(t) · r′∆t,
Since this piece of the curve is a straight line segment, then, the angle between the direction of the force and the direction of the motion is constant.

Fundamental theory of Calculus
Let f (t) be a continuous function on the interval [a, b] and F (t) is any antiderivative of f (t), then, ∫ (^) b

f (t)dt = F (b) − F (a),
Fundamental theory of Calculus
Let f (t) be a continuous function on the interval [a, b] and F (t) is any antiderivative of f (t), then, ∫ (^) b
a
f (t)dt = F (b) − F (a),
One of the interpretations is:
∫ (^) b a f^ ′(t)dt = f (b) − f (a),
Let r(t) represent a curve and let a = r(a) and b = r(b). Then, ∫ (^) b

C
F(r) · dr,

holds for some f in D.
A function f in a domain D is called potential of F if F = grad(f ). That is, (^) ∫
C
F(r) · dr,
is path independent iff F is potential of some function in D.
Proof
r(t)
Suppose that (x 1 , y 1 ) and (x 2 , y 2 ) are two points close to the surface, where r(t) = x(t)i + y(t)j. Then, since dr(t) = dx(t)/dti + dy(t)/dtj, ∫
