Answer

$0$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have: $ \oint F \cdot dr=\oint x dx +y dy +z dz$ The circulation can be expressed as: $\oint F \cdot dr =\oint(xi+y j+zk) \cdot ( dx i+dy j +dz k) $ We have circulation with the initial point and ending point as $(a,b,c)$. Now, $Circulation =\oint F \cdot dr =\int_{a}^a x dx + \int_{b}^b y dy +\int_{c}^c z dz $ or, $Circulation=[\dfrac{x^2}{2}]_a^a +[\dfrac{y^2}{2}]_b^b+[\dfrac{z^2}{2}]_c^c$ or, $Circulation=0+0+0$ or, $Circulation=0$
