F dr are positive, negative, or zero and type P, N, or Z as appropriate.

C

x = r cos y = r sin
dr = ( dx, dy ) = ( y, x ) d

A. F = the radial vector field = xi + yj :

( x, y ) ( y, x ) d = 0

B. F = the circulating vector field= yi + xj

( y, x ) ( y, x ) d = r 2 d therefore it is positive

C. F = the circulating vector field = yi xj

( y, x ) ( y, x ) d = r 2 d which is negative

D. F = the constant vector field=i+j

The field is constant and a constant field is always conservative.
