The line integral depends on path
Equations are omitted for technical reasons - download the original pdf
The following example illustrates the observation that if a vector function is integrated along a different path, the endpoints being the same, then in general the value of the line integral will not be the same. So, even when the endpoints are the same, the line integral depends on the path between them. Example (3) [Example goes here - download the original pdf to see it.]
