right half.

(c) From the point (0, −1) to the point (4, −1), the x-component of the force field is always −1, i.e., it is pushing the
object backward with a constant force of 1. Thus, the work done on that part of the path is −1 · 4 = −4, because
only the horizontal component of the force field contributes to work.
From the point (4, −1) to the point (4, 3), the y-component of the force field is always 16, so it is pushing the
object forward with force of 16. Thus, the work done on that part of the path is 16 · 4 = 64, because only the vertical
component of the force field contributes to work.
So the total work done is −4 + 64 = 60.

21. Since itR appears that C1 is everywhere perpendicular to the vector field, all of the dot products in the line integral are zero,
hence C F ~ · d~r ≈ 0. Along the path C2 the dot products of F~ with ∆~ ri are all positive, so their sum is positive and
R1 R
we have F~ · d~r < ~ · d~r . For C3 the vectors ∆~

22. The force has no horizontal component. Therefore the (positive) work done in the first half of C 1 will be exactly canceled
by the (negative) work done in the second half, so the total work over the path C 1 is zero. The same holds true for C2 ,
again by virtue of the vertical symmetry of the path and the fact that F~ is constant and because the horizontal part of C2
contributes zero work. For C3 , the total work will be greater than zero, since the diagonal part of C 3 is in the same general
~ and the horizontal part of C3 contributes zero work.

23. The line integral along C1 is positive; the line integrals along C2 and C3 appear to be zero.
24. The line integral along C1 appears to be zero, the line integral along C2 is positive, and the line integral along C3 is
negative.
25. The line integral along C1 is negative, the line integral along C2 is negative, and the line integral along C3 appears to be
zero.
26. The line integral along C1 appears to be 0, the line integral along C2 is negative, and the line integral along C3 is positive.
27. The dot product of F ~ and 10~i is positive if a > 0. There are no restrictions on b and c.
28. The ~k component of F ~ does not contribute to the line integral. Since the line integral of y~i around C is negative, for the
~ to be positive, we need a < 0. No restriction on c is needed.
line integral of F
29. The vector field F~ is in the same direction as C if b > 0, so we want b < 0. No restriction is needed on c.
30. For any value of a, the vector field ay~i − ax~j is perpendicular to the vector ~i + ~j + ~k which is in the direction of C.
Thus a can take any value. The ~k component of F ~ is in the direction of C if the coefficient of ~k is positive, that is, if
c > 1.
31. The line C is parallel to the z-axis, so a~i + b~j does not contribute to the line integral. Thus, there are no restrictions on
a and b. The dot product of F ~ and −~k is negative if c > 3.
32. The vector field is F (~r ) = ~r . See Figure 18.2. The vector field is perpendicular to the circular arcs at every point, so

Since C3 is longer than C1 , and the vector field is larger in magnitude along C3 , the line integral along C3 has greater

35. Since it does not depend on y, this vector field is constant along vertical lines, x = constant. Now let us consider two
points P and Q on C1 which lie on the same vertical line. Because C1 is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, the tangent
vectors at P and Q will be symmetric with respect to the vertical axis so their sum is a vertical vector. But F~ has only
horizontal component and thus F~ · (∆~r (P ) + ∆~r (Q)) = 0. As F ~ is constant along vertical lines (so F
~ (P ) = F
~ (Q)),
we obtain
F~ (P ) · ∆~r (P ) + F

Now let P be on C2 and Q on C4 lying on the same vertical line. The respective tangent vectors are symmetric with

(c) Figure 18.15 shows the oriented path C , with the “turn around” points P and Q. The particle first travels from the
origin to the point P (call this path C1 ), then backs up from P to Q (call this path C2 ), then goes from Q to the point
(4, 12) in the original direction (call this path C3 ). See Figure 18.16. Thus, C 0 = C1 + C2 + C3 . Along the parts of
C1 and C2 that overlap, the line integrals cancel, so we are left with the line integral over the part of C 1 that does not
overlap with C2 , followed by the line integral over C3 . Thus, the line integral over C 0 is the same as the line integral
over the direct route from the point (0, 0) to the point (4, 12).

has (x(0), y(0)) = (0, 0) and (x(4), y(4)) = (4, 12). The form of the parameterization we were given shows that
the second coordinate is always three times the first. Thus all points on the parameterized curve lie on the line y = 3x.
We have to do a bit more work to guarantee that all points on the curve lie on the line between the point (0, 0)
and the point (4, 12); it is possible that they might shoot off to, say, (100, 300) before returning to (4, 12). Let’s
investigate the maximum and minimum values of f (t) = t3 − 6t2 + 11t on the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 4. We can do this on
a graphing calculator or computer, or use single-variable calculus. We already know the values of f at the endpoints,
namely 0 and 12. We’ll look for local extrema:
0 = f 0 (t) = 3t2 − 12t + 11
which has roots at t = 2 ± √13 . These are the values of t where the particle changes direction: t = 2 − √13
corresponds to point P and t = 2 + √13 corresponds to point Q of C 0 . At these values of t we have f (2 − √13 ) ≈ 6.4,
and f (2 + √13 ) ≈ 5.6. The fact that these values are between 0 and 12 shows that f takes on its maximum and
minimum values at the endpoints of the interval and not in between.

Along the first half of B, the terms F · ∆~r are negative; along the second half the terms F ~ · ∆~r are positive. By

Since C2 starts out in the direction of F ~ , the first leg of C2 will have a positive line integral. The second

the line integral along C2 is positive.

(b) By the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, since C is a closed path, C
grad f · d~r = 0.
38. (a) The integral is positive, because the portion of the path that goes with the vector field is longer than the portion of the
path that goes against it, and in addition the vectors are larger in magnitude along the former and smaller in magnitude
along the latter.
~ = grad f for some function f , then the integral around every closed path would be zero. But
(b) If it were true that F
in part (a) we saw that the integral around one closed path was not zero, so F ~ cannot be a gradient vector field.
(c) The region shown is in the first quadrant. In that quadrant, the vectors of F~1 point away from the origin, so F~1 does
not fit. The vectors of both F~2 and F~3 point up and to the left, so they are both possibilities; of these, F~2 fits best
because its vectors get larger in magnitude as you move away from the origin, which fits the diagram. The vectors in
F~ 3 shrink as you move away from the origin.
39. Since the vector field is path independent, the line integral around the closed curve (0, 0) to (1, 0) to (1, 1) to (0, 1) to
(0, 0) is zero. Thus

40. (a) To maximize the line integral, we choose C to be parallel to grad f = 3~i + 4~j . Thus C has parametric equation
~r = (2~i + ~j ) + t~v where ~v = 3~i + 4~j , so
x = 2 + 3t y = 1 + 4t.
If the other end of C is at (x1 , y1 ), since the length of C is 10, we have

p
(3t)2 + (4t)2 = 10

Thus t = 2 at (x1 , y1 ), so
x1 = 2 + 2 · 3 = 8 and y1 = 1 + 2 · 4 = 9.
Thus C ends at the point (8, 9).

42. (a) We parameterize the path by (cos t, sin t) for π/2 ≤ t ≤ π. Since t = π/2 gives the end point, (0, 1) and t = π

fact it is always tangent to C since F~ · ~r = 0).
(b) If we redo our computations using the entire unit circle, the only change will be the limits of integration: they’ll
change to 0 to 2π. This yields an answer of 2π (or −2π, depending on orientation). Since the work around a closed
path is not zero, the force is not path-independent.

50. (a) The level surfaces are horizontal planes given by gz = c, so z = c/g. The potential energy increases with the height
above the earth. This means that more energy is stored as “potential to fall” as height increases.
(b) The gradient of φ points upward (in the direction of increasing potential energy), so ∇φ = g~k . The gravitational
force acts toward the earth in the direction of −~k . So, F ~ = −g~k . The negative sign represents the fact that the
gravitational force acts in the direction of the decreasing potential energy.

Exercises
1. We know that
∂f ∂f
= 2xy and = x2 ,
∂x ∂y
so, integrating with respect to x, thinking of y as a constant gives
f (x, y) = x2 y + C(y).
Differentiating with respect to y gives
∂f
= x2 + C 0 (y),
∂y
so we take C(y) = k for some constant K 2 . Thus
f (x, y) = x2 y + K.
2. We know that
∂f ∂f
= 2xy and = x2 + 8y 3
∂x ∂y
Now think of y as a constant in the equation for ∂f /∂x and integrate, giving
f (x, y) = x2 y + C(y).
Since the constant of integration may depend on y, it is written C(y). Differentiating this expression for f (x, y) with
respect to y and using the fact that ∂f /∂y = x2 + 8y 3 , we get
∂f
= x2 + C 0 (y) = x2 + 8y 3 .
∂y
Therefore
C 0 (y) = 8y 3 so C(y) = 2y 4 + K.
for some constant K. Thus,
f (x, y) = x2 y + 2y 4 + K.
3. Integrating
∂f
= yzexyz + z 2 cos(xz 2 )
∂x
with respect to x and thinking of y and z as constant gives
f (x, y, z) = exyz + sin(xz 2 ) + C(y, z).
Differentiating with respect to y and using the fact that ∂f /∂y = xzexyz gives
∂f ∂C
= xzexyz + = xzexyz .
∂y ∂y
Thus, ∂C/∂y = 0. This means C does not depend on y and can be written C(z), giving:
f (x, y, z) = exyz + sin(xz 2 ) + C(z).
Differentiating with respect to z, we get
∂f
= xyexyz + 2zx cos(xz 2 ) + C 0 (z).
∂z
The expression for grad f tells us that
∂f
= xyexyz + 2xz cos(xz 2 ).
∂z
Thus, we have C 0 (z) = 0 so C = constant, giving
f (x, y, z) = exyz + sin(xz 2 ) + C.

5. Yes, since F~ = 2xy~i + x2~j = grad(x2 y).
6. The domain of the vector field F~ (x, y) = y~i + y~j is the whole xy-plane. In order to see if F~ is a gradient let us apply
the curl test:
∂F1

∂y
and
∂F2

∂x
So F~ is not the gradient of any function.
7. No, since if F ~ = 2xy~i + 2xy~j ,
∂F2 ∂F1

∂x ∂y
so
∂F2 ∂F1
− 6= 0.

~ (x, y) = (x2 + y 2 )~i + 2xy~j is the whole xy-plane. Let us apply the curl test:
8. The domain of the vector field F

so F
∂f
= x2 + y 2
∂x
with respect to x, thinking of y as a constant.
We get
x3
f (x, y) = + xy 2 + C(y)
3
Differentiating with respect to y and using the fact that ∂f /∂y = 2xy gives
∂f
= 2xy + C 0 (y) = 2xy
∂y
Thus C 0 (y) = 0 so C is a constant and

x3
f (x, y) = + xy 2 + C.
3
~ = (2xy 3 + y)~i + (3x2 y 2 + x)~j is the whole xy-plane. We apply the curl test:

~ is the gradient of a function f . In order to compute f we first integrate
so F
∂f
= 2xy 3 + y
∂x
with respect to x thinking of y as a constant. We get
f (x, y) = x2 y 3 + xy + C(y)
Differentiating with respect to y and using the fact that ∂f /∂y = 3x2 y 2 + x gives
∂f
= 3x2 y 2 + x + C 0 (y) = 3x2 y 2 + x
∂y
Thus C 0 (y) = 0 so C is constant and

f (x, y) = x2 y 3 + xy + C.

We integrate this relation with respect to y thinking of z as a constant. We get

Differentiating with respect to z and using the fact that ∂f /∂z = 1/z gives

This integral over R is largest if C encloses the maximum possible region where 4 − y 2 > 0, that is, where −2 ≤ y ≤ 2.
Therefore C should be the curve with two sides along the lines y = −2 and y = 2, as well as two arcs of the circle
x2 + y 2 = 25. See Figure 18.26.
31. Since the level curves must be perpendicular to the gradient vectors, if there were a contour diagram fitting this gradient
field, it would have to look like Figure 18.27. However, this diagram could not be the contour diagram because the origin
is on all contours. This means that f (0, 0) would have to take on more than one value, which is impossible. At a point P
other than the origin, we have the same problem. The values on the contours increase as you go counterclockwise around,
since the gradient vector points in the direction of greatest increase of a function. But, starting at P , and going all the way
around the origin, you would eventually get back to P again, and with a larger value of f , which is impossible.
An additional problem arises from the fact that the vectors in the original vector field are longer as you go away from
the origin. This means that if there were a potential function f then || grad f || would increase as you went away from the
origin. This would mean that the level curves of f would get closer together as you go outward which does not happen in
the contour diagram in Figure 18.27.

32. The drawing of the contour diagrams in Figure 18.28 fitting this gradient field would look like Figure 18.28. The values
on the contours would increase both as y increases (for positive x) and as y decreases (for negative x), following the rule
that the gradient vector points in the direction of greatest increase of a function. Therefore, it is impossible for this to be a
contour diagram.

(b) The integrand of the integral over the disk R is 12 − 3(x2 + y 2 ). Since the integrand is positive for x2 + y 2 < 4 and
negative for x2 + y 2 > 4, the integrand is positive inside the circle of radius 2 and negative outside that circle. Thus,
the integral over R increases with a until a = 2 and then decreases. The maximum value of the line integral occurs
when a = 2.

2. On the top half of the circle, the angle between the vector field and the curve is less than 90 ◦ , so the line integral is positive.
On the bottom half of the circle, the angle is more than 90◦ , so the line integral is negative. However the magnitude of the
vector field is larger onR the top half of the curve, so the positive contribution to the line integral is larger than the negative.
Thus the line integral C F ~ · d~r is positive.

Problems
30. If a vector field is a gradient vector field, it has zero circulation around every closed curve. Vector fields (i) and (iii) do
not have this property. Therefore, (ii) and (iv) could represent gradient vector fields.
31. (a) The curves C1 and C3 give line integrals which we expect to be zero because at every point, the curve looks perpen-
dicular to the vector field.
(b) The curve C4 gives a negative line integral because the path is traversed in the direction opposite to the vector field.
(c) The line integrals along C2 , C5 , C6 and C7 are all positive. The vector field is path-independent; it is the gradient
of a function f whose contours appear to be equally spaced circles centered at the origin; the value of f increases
going outward. By the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, the value of a line integral is the difference between
the values of f at the two endpoints. The difference between the radii of the circles containing the endpoints of C 2
and the difference between the radii of the circles containing the endpoints of C 6 look about the same, so the line
integrals along C2 and C6 are approximately equal. Since C6 and C7 have the same endpoints, their line integrals are
also equal. The difference between the radii of the circles containing the endpoints of C 2 is less than the difference
between the radii of the circles containing the endpoints of C5 , so the line integral along C2 is smaller than the line
integral along C5 . Thus
C2 = C 6 = C 7 < C 5 .

It does not matter how the curve goes because the Fundamental Theorem gives the line integral in terms of the values

33. (a) The vector field is everywhere perpendicular to the radial line from the origin to (2, 3), so the line integral is 0.
(b) Since the path is parallel to the x-axis, only the ~i component of the vector field contributes to the line integral. The ~i
component is −3~i on this line, and the displacement along this line is −2~i , so
Line integral = (−3~i ) · (−2~i ) = 6.

field x~i + y~j is symmetric in the y-axis and that C1 and C2 are reflections in the y axis (except for orientation). See
Figure 18.31. Since the orientation of C2 is the reverse of the orientation of a mirror image of C1 , the two line integrals
are opposite in sign.

43. A contour of f is a set on which f does not change, so the total change of f from P to Q, f (P ) − f (Q), is zero. If C is
a part of a contour of f , we know that grad f is perpendicular to C. This means that the line integral of grad f along C,
which also computes the total change in f between its endpoints, must be zero, since the dot products in its definition are
all zero.

constant magnitude kB ~ k. We divide the curve C into little pieces Ci and then we sum B ~ · ∆~r computed on each piece

(b) The vectors of F ~ are radial and the contours of f must be perpendicular to the vectors. Therefore, every contour
must be a circle centered at the origin. Sketching some contours results in a diagram like that in Figure 18.38.
(c) No, not every gradient field is a central field, because there are gradient fields which are not perpendicular to circles.
An example is the gradient of f (x, y) = y, where grad f = ~j , so the gradient is parallel to the y axis. Thus, F ~ = ~j
is an example of a gradient field which is not a central field.
(d) When a particle moves around a circle centered at O, no work is done, because F ~ is tangent to the circle. Thus the
only work done in moving from P to Q is in moving between the circles. Since F ~ is central, the work done on any
radial line between C1 and C3 , for example, depends on only the radii of C1 and C3 (F ~ is parallel to this path and
its magnitude is a function of the distance to the center of the circle only). For that reason, on a path which goes from
C1 to C2 and then from C2 to C3 , the same amount of work will be done as on a path direct from C 1 to C3 .
(e) Pick any two points P and Q. Any path between them can be well-approximated by a path which is partly radial and
partly around a circle centered at O. By the answer to part d), the work along any such path depends only on the radii
of the circles on which P and Q sit, not on the path. Thus, the work done is independent of the path. Hence, F ~ must
be path-independent and therefore a gradient field.
48. (a) Since −y~i + x~j is a counterclockwise rotation, both ω and K must be positive. In order to find the values of ω and
K, wepmust look at the velocity field where we know the magnitude. At a radius of 100 m from the center, we know
that x2 + y 2 = 100, and that k~v k = 3 · 105 . Thus, using ~v = ω(−y~i + x~j ) we get
p
k~v k = ω (−y)2 + x2 = 100ω = 3 · 105 meters/hr,
so
ω = 3000 rad/hr.
Using ~v = K(x2 + y 2 )−1 (−y~i + x~j ) gives
p K100
k~v k = |K|(x2 + y 2 )−1 (−y)2 + x2 = = 3 · 105 meters/hr,

so K = 3 · 107 meters2 ·rad/hr.
(b)
The vector field in Figure 18.39 shows the velocity vectors inside the tornado, (i.e. r < 100 meters). The vector
field in Figure 18.40 shows the velocity vectors as seen from a great distance (i.e. r >> 100 meters) with the tornado
at the origin.
(c) Let C be the circle of radius r around the origin. If r < 100 meters, the velocity vectors at distance r from the origin
have magnitude ωr. Since they are tangent, and point counterclockwise, the circulation is
Z
~v · d~r = k~v k · Length of C = 2ωπr 2 .

If r ≥ 100 meters, the vectors at distance r from the origin have magnitude K/r and are again tangent to the circle.

k~v k = ω (−y)2 + x2 = ω(200) = 2 · 105 meters/hr,

1. A path-independent vector field must have zero circulation around all closed paths. Consider a vector field like F
~
|x|j , shown in Figure 18.41.

Figure 18.41
A rectangular path that is symmetric about the y-axis will have zero circulation: on the horizontal sides, the field is
perpendicular, so the line integral is zero. The line integrals on the vertical sides are equal in magnitude and opposite in
sign, so they cancel out, giving a line integral of zero. However, this field is not path-independent, because it is possible to
find two paths with the same endpoints but different values of the line integral of F ~ . For example, consider the two points
(0, 0) and (0, 1). The path C1 in Figure 18.42 along the y axis gives zero for the line integral, because the field is 0 along
the y axis, whereas a path like C2 will have a nonzero line integral. Thus the line integral depends on the path between

2. This is false, because the line integral yields a scalar whereas the total change in F

when F happens to be the gradient of a scalar function f , the line integral does give the total change of the scalar function
f along the path—but not of the vector function F ~.
3. You can easily come up with counterexamples: suppose that F ~ 6= G ~ but that both are gradient fields. For example,
~ ~ ~ ~
F = i and G = j . Then, if C is a closed curve, the line integral around C of both F ~ and G ~ will equal to zero. But this
does not mean that F ~ =G ~.
4. The total change of f along C depends only on the endpoints of C. If f has the same values at each endpoint (or if C is
closed, so that the endpoints coincide) then the total change will be zero. This in no way restricts the shape of the curve
C. For example, take f (x, y) = x2 + y 2 and C to be the straight line from the point (1, 0) to the point (0, 1). Then
f (1, 0) = f (0, 1) = 1 so the change in f along C is zero, but C is not a contour of f .

7. False. The line integral of a gradient vector field around this circle would be 0, but the converse is not necessarily true.
~ is necessarily a gradient field.
That is, the fact that the line integral around this one circle is zero does not mean F

12. True. The line integral is the limit of a sum of dot products, hence is a scalar.
13. False. The relative sizes of the line integrals along C1 and C2 depend on the behavior of the vector field F ~ along the
curves. As a counterexample, take the vector field F ~ = ~i , and C1 to be the line from the origin to (0, 2), while C2 is
Rthe line from the origin to (1, 0). Then the length of C1 isR 2, which is greater than the length of C2 , which is 1. However
F~ · d~r = 0 (since F~ is perpendicular to C1 ) while ~ · d~r > 0 (since F
F ~ points along C2 ).

14. False. For example, the vector field F ~ could be perpendicular to C everywhere. For instance, let F ~ = ~j and C be the
curve t~i , for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. Alternatively, F ~ might point along part of C and in the opposite direction on another part of
C and so that the sum cancels out, yielding a zero line integral. For instance, let F ~ = x~i and C be the curve t~i , for
−1 ≤ t ≤ 1.
15. True. All of the dot products F ~ (~r i ) · ∆~r i in this line integral are positive, since the vector field (the constant ~i ) points
in the same direction as ∆~r i .
16. False. All of the dot products F ~ (~r i ) · ∆~r i in this line integral are zero, since the vector field (the constant ~i ) points
perpendicular to ∆~r i .
17. False. The relation between these two line integrals depends on the behavior of the vector field along each of the curves,
~ (x, y) = y~i , then, by symmetry,
so there is no reason to expect one to be the negative of the other. As an example, if F
both line integrals are equal to the same negative number.
18. False. The relation between these two line integrals depends on the behavior of the vector field along each of the curves, so
there is no reason to expect one to be larger than the other. If, for example, the line integral along C 2 is negative, then the
line integral along both taken together (C1 + C2 ) will be less than the line integral over C1 by itself. A specific

23. True. The curves C1 and C2 both parameterize the upper unit semicircle with the same orientation (but at different speeds).
Since the line integral is independent of parameterization, the integrals over C 1 and C2 are the same.
24. False. As a counterexample, consider the unit circle C, centered at the origin, oriented counterclockwise and the vector

so the value of the line integral C

30. False. The statement is true if C1 and C2 have the same initial and final points. For example, F ~ (x, y) = ~i is path-
~
independent (since it is the gradient of f (x, y) = x), but the line integral of F over a path from (0, 0) to (1, 0) is
f (1, 0) − f (0, 0) = 1, but the line integral over a path from (0, 0) to (0, 1) is f (0, 1) − f (0, 0) = 0.
31. False. However, if F ~ is a gradient field, the line integral gives the total change in the potential function f , where F~ =
grad f .
32. True. The construction at the end of Section 18.3 shows how to make a potential function from a path-independent vector
field.

35. False. If there were a potential function f , then fx = y 2 , so f (x, y) = xy 2 + g(y), where g(y) is a function of y only.
Then fy = 2xy + g 0 (y), which depends on x no matter what g 0 (y) is. Thus fy cannot be equal to a constant k, and so

there is no potential function f such that F

36. False. For example, take F = y~i . By symmetry, the line integral of F ~ over any circle centered at the origin is zero.
But the curve consisting of the upper semicircle connecting (−a, 0) to (a, 0) has a positive line integral, while the line
connecting these points along the x-axis has a zero line integral, so the field cannot be path-independent.

40. False. As a counterexample, consider F ~ = x~j and G ~ = y~i . Then both of these are path-dependent (they each have
~ +G
nonzero curl), but the curl of F ~ = y~i + x~j is zero everywhere, so F

41. True. This vector field has components F1 = x, F2 = y, and F3 = z. Using the 3-space curl test gives zero for all of the
components of curlF ~ , so the field is path-independent.
∂F2 ∂F1

PROJECTS FOR CHAPTER EIGHTEEN 1483
(iii) In parts (a) and (b) we derived two expressions for the work done by F~ as the particle moves from P
to Q. These two expressions must be equal, so
Kinetic energy at Q − Kinetic energy at P = Potential energy at P − Potential energy at Q.
Rewriting this equation we have,
(Potential energy + Kinetic energy) at P = (Potential energy + Kinetic energy) at Q.
This shows that the total energy is the same at P as at Q. Since P and Q are arbitrary points in space,
the total energy of a particle moving in a force vector field F~ = −∇f is a constant.
2. (a) We have

Since F~ is by definition in part (a) a vector field of unit vectors in the direction of the wheel vector along
C, we have Z
(Area of R) = L F~ · d~r = L · (Total roll of planimeter wheel).

3. (a) We take the surface to be a disk of radius r, parallel to the xy-plane and centered on the z-axis. The
boundary of the disk is the circle C. We know that the magnetic field, B~ , is tangent to the circle and has
~
constant magnitude, kB k, along each circle. Thus, for any such circle,
Z
B~ · d~r = kB
~ k · Length of C = 2πrkB ~ k.

If r ≥ r0 (where r0 is the radius of the wire) then the current through the surface is I. Therefore
Z
2πrkB ~k= ~ · d~r = kI,
B
C
so
~k= kI
kB .
2πr
If r < r0 , then the current flowing through the surface is not I, but the amount of current passing through
a disk of radius r. Such a disk has an area which is (πr 2 )/(πr02 ) of the cross-sectional area of the wire. So
the current to use in Ampère’s Law is (πr 2 )/(πr02 ) I. Thus,

(b) We again use Ampère’s Law on a disk of radius r, lying perpendicular to, and centered on, the z-axis (See
Figure 18.43). If the boundary, C, of this disk lies inside the torus, then the wire goes through the disk N
times, and so the net current through the disk is N I. Thus,
Z
2πrkB ~k= ~ · d~r = kN I,
B
C
which gives
~k= kN I
kB .
2πr
On the other hand, if the boundary, C, lies outside the torus, then the net current through the disk is 0. (The
wire goes into the disk N times and out of the disk N times, and so the currents cancel.) Hence we have
