A2-17: CLOSED CURVES AND CAPPING SURFACES

PURPOSE: To illustrate various complicated closed curves.

DESCRIPTION: Distorted strainers illustrate possible choices for closed surfaces.

SUGGESTIONS: These three-dimensional models can be used to illustrate some variety in choice of closed surfaces when refering to Gauss' Law or Stokes' Theorem.

REFERENCES: (PIRA unavailable.)

EQUIPMENT: Two distorted strainers, as photographed.

SETUP TIME: None.
