The integral ∮c(ydx - xdy) is evaluated along the circle x² + y² = 1/4 traversed in counter clockwise direction. The integral is equal to
-
- 0
- - π/4
- - π/2
- π/4
Correct Option: C
Given integral ∮c (ydx - xdy)
where C is x² + y² = 1/4
Applying Green’s theorem
∮cMdx - Ndy = ∫∫R | - | dx dy | ||||
δx | δx |
where R is region included in c
∮cydx - xdy = ∫∫R(-1-1)dx dy
= - 2∫∫R = –2 × RegionR
= – 2 × area of circle with radius 1/2
= 2 × π | ² | = | ||||
