The Divergence Theorem
Flux out of a closed surface as the triple integral of divergence, sources and sinks as the physical reading, and the lid trick made into a theorem.

4. Capping an open surface
Capping an open surface
5. The theorem's hypothesis
A student replaces the flux integral over an open bowl by a triple integral of divergence over the solid beneath it. What is missing?
6. Shape independence
and a solid has volume . What is the flux out of its boundary, whatever the shape?
7. Reading divergence physically
A field has divergence throughout a region. What does flux out of the region's boundary report?
8. Cube flux
over the unit cube. Give the total outward flux, as a plain number.
9. Bowl with a lid
The paraboloid below , with , is capped by the disk at . The closed flux is and the lid's flux is . Give the bowl's outward flux, in the form a*pi/b.
