A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism/Errata

From Wikisource

Page 26, l. 3 from bottom, dele 'As we have made no assumption', &c. down to l. 7 of p. 27, 'the expression may then be written', and substitute as follows:—

Let us now suppose that the curves for which is constant form a series of closed curves surrounding the point on the surface for which has its minimum value, , the last curve of the series, for which , coinciding with the original closed curve s.

Let us also suppose that the curves for which is constant form a series of lines drawn from the point at which to the closed curve s, the first , and the last, , being identical

Integrating (8) by parts the first term with respect to a and the second with respect to , the double integrals destroy each other. The line integral,

,

is zero, because the curve , is reduced to a point at which there is but one value of and of .

The two line integrals,

+ ,

destroy each other, because the point is identical with the point .

The expressions (8) is therefore reduced to


(9)


Since the curve is identical with the closed curve s, we may write this expression
