Statement I: Circulation is an integral quantity around a closed curve.

Statement II: Vorticity is a local quantity defined at a point.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.

  • A.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • B.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • C.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  • D.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Answer: A

Both statements are correct, and Stokes' theorem connects them: the circulation around a curve equals the integral of the vorticity over any surface bounded by it. That connection is what allows a theorem about the circulation around a material loop to be translated into a statement about the vorticity of the enclosed fluid, which is how Kelvin's and Bjerknes' results are applied in practice.
