Question #257437

Apply Gauss’s Divergence theorem to evaluate taken over the

sphere being the direction cosines of the external normal to the

sphere.


Expert's answer

Here the given question is not complete and it is not from the related subject. So, I am answering the approach of the above question.

Gauss Divergence Theorem:

The surface integral of a vector A over the closed surface = Volume integral of the divergence of a vector field A over the volume enclosed by closed surface.


sA.dS=v(.A)dV\Rightarrow \oiint_s \overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{dS}=\iiint_v(\overrightarrow{{\nabla}}.\overrightarrow{A})dV


Let there is a surface S, which encloses a surface A. Let A be the vector field in the given region.

Let the volume of the small part of the sphere ΔVj\Delta V_j which is bounded by a surface SjS_j


sA.dS\Rightarrow \oiint_s \overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{dS}


Now, we will integrate the volume,


ΣsjA.dSj=sA.dS...(i)\Rightarrow \Sigma \oiint_{sj} \overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{dS_j}=\oiint_s \overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{dS}...(i)


Now, in the above equation, multiply and divide by the ΔVi\Delta V_i


sA.dS=Σ1ΔVi(AdSj)ΔVi\Rightarrow \oiint_s \overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{dS}=\Sigma{\frac{1}{\Delta{V_i}}}(\oiint\overrightarrow{A}\overrightarrow{dS_j})\Delta{V_i}


Let volume is divide into the infinite elementary volume,


sA.dS=limΔvi0Σ1ΔVi(AdSj)ΔVi...(ii)\Rightarrow \oiint_s \overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{dS}=\lim_{\Delta v_i\rightarrow 0}\Sigma{\frac{1}{\Delta{V_i}}}(\iint\overrightarrow{A}\overrightarrow{dS_j})\Delta{V_i}...(ii)


limΔvi0[Σ1ΔVi(AdSi)]=(V.A)\lim_{\Delta v_i\rightarrow 0}[\Sigma{\frac{1}{\Delta{V_i}}}(\oiint\overrightarrow{A}\overrightarrow{dS_i})]=(\overrightarrow{V}.\overrightarrow{A})


(A.dS)=Σ(.A)ΔVi\oiint{(\overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{dS})}=\Sigma{(\overrightarrow{\nabla}.\overrightarrow{A})}\Delta{V}_i

Hence,

(A.dS)=v(.A)dV\oiint{(\overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{dS})}=\iiint_v(\overrightarrow{\nabla}.\overrightarrow{A})dV
