What theorem is named after Stokes in vector calculus?

  • Pythagorean Theorem

  • Stokes' Theorem

  • Gauss's Theorem

  • Fermat's Last Theorem

Answer

Stokes' Theorem relates the line integral of a vector field around a closed curve to the surface integral of the curl of the vector field over the surface bounded by the curve. It is a generalization of the fundamental theorem of calculus to higher dimensions and is widely used in physics and engineering, particularly in electromagnetism and fluid dynamics.
