Example 4: Line Integral of a Circle
Find the line integral where C is the circle x2 + y2 = 4, shown in Figure 13.2.13. Figure 13.2.13 We may start at any point of C. Take (2,0) as the initial point. Then C has the parametric equations x = 2 cos θ, y = 2 sin θ, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. As θ goes from 0 to 2π, (x, y) goes around C once counterclockwise as required.
