Engineering Mathematics: Finding Work Done by a Force in Vector Fields and Line Integrals, Lecture notes of Engineering Mathematics

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.

What you will learn

  • How is the Fundamental Theory of Calculus related to the concept of work done by a force?
  • How can you determine if a vector field is exact and path-independent?
  • What is the difference between conservative and non-conservative forces?
  • What is a line integral and how is it used to find the work done by a force?
  • How is work done by a force calculated in a vector 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.

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. What about to move a electrical charge in some electromagnetic field?

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

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),

Fundamental theory of Calculus

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),

Fundamental Theory of Line Integral

Let r(t) represent a curve and let a = r(a) and b = r(b). Then, ∫ (^) b

∇f · dr = f (b) − f (a),

C

F(r) · dr,

with some continuous F 1 , F 2 , F 3 in domain D is path independent iff

F = gradf,

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, ∫

C

F(r) · dr =

C

[0, −mg] · [ dx(t) dt

F(r) · dr = −mg

F · dr,

is path-independent in a domain D iff

F · dr = F 1 dx + F 2 dy + F 3 dz,
