- Summary
- We calculate "step by step" the line integral along the path of a vectorial field. You can follow two different paths and select three representative fields to distinguish conservative fields from non-conservative ones. Also illustrated are the notions of potential, potential difference, energy, work and the orthogonality between fields and equipotentials.
- Learning objectives
- To compute line integrals along different paths.
- To illustrate the characteristics of some “conservative” fields.
- How to use the animation
- Select a field distribution then drag the cursor M.
