The flux of the curl of a vector field through a surface is given by:
Using Stokes’ Theorem, this flux can be related to the circulation around the boundary of the surface, which in this case is a circular loop of radius 2 centered at the origin.
Since is a vector field in the x-y plane, the curl of in the z-direction can be evaluated using the given components.
Upon solving for the flux, we find that the magnitude of the flux through the circular loop is:
Thus, the correct answer is (B).
The P-V diagram of an engine is shown in the figure below. The temperatures at points 1, 2, 3 and 4 are T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. 1→2 and 3→4 are adiabatic processes, and 2→3 and 4→1 are isochoric processes
