Find the value of Stoke’s theorem for A = x i + y j + z k. The state of the function will be(a) Solenoidal(b) Divergent(c) Rotational(d) Curl freeThe question was posed to me during an interview for a job.This interesting question is from Stokes Theorem topic in section Vector Calculus of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

Right choice is (d) Curl free

Easy explanation: SINCE curl is required, we need not BOTHER about DIVERGENCE property. The curl of the FUNCTION will be i(0-0) – j(0-0) + k(0-0) = 0. The curl is zero, thus the function is said to be irrotational or curl free.
