7.6 STOKE’S THEOREM
Stoke’s theorem states that the integral of the tangential component of a vector field around l is equal to the integral of the normal component of curl over S.H

to the surface integral

Consider an open surface S whose boundary is a closed surface l
It can be shown as follow:

From the diagram it can be seen that the total integral of the surface enclosed by the loop inside the open surface S is zero since the adjacent loop is in the opposite direction. Therefore the total integral on the left side equation is the perimeter of the open surface S.
If therefore

where loop l is the path that enclosed surface S and this equation is called Stoke’s Theorem.
