Significance of stokes theorem in physics

Answer 1

Stokes' Theorem is one of a family of mathematical results that link a property of a volume to a property on its boundary. At some level, that could be like holography, but in the most basic case, it deals with fluids or fluid-like things.

If we think about water intuitively, we know that the volume of water in a drinking vessel changes by exactly the amount that is added or removed. But that quantity passed through (or across) the boundary, into the general volume. That seems obvious. Stokes' theorem takes this idea and generalises it to a wider class of volume properties, including rotation.

Significance Of STOKES THEOREM are

• The law applies to a fluid of infinite extent.
• The law does not hold good if the spherical body is moving so fast that conditions are not streamline.
• The spherical body must be rigid and smooth .
