Find C ( x+y

j) dr , where C is the segment of the unit circle going
counterclockwise from (1, 0) to (0, 1).
Solution
We recall:
of the others.
Recall that:
The vector field F(x, y) = u(x, y)i + v(x, y)j is conservative if and only
if
F dr = (x1 , y1 ) (x0 , y0 ).
C
= log(1) log(1) = 0.
We conclude
1 1
( i + j) dr = 0.
