Zero circulation Use the identity * = 0 (Equation (8) in the text) and Stokes Theorem to show that the circulations of the following fields around the boundary of any smooth orientable surface in space are zero. a.

26. Zero curl, yet field not conservative Show that the curl of -y F = x2 + y2 i + x j + zk x2 + y2
