Title: Verifying the divergence theorem?
Post by: zeekarn on Oct 26, 2013
The vector field  E= i10e^-r - k3z

Verify the divergence theorem for the cylindrical region enclosed by r=2, z= 0, z= 4

That's the problem. So the theorem is that the surface flux integral of the field is equal to the volume integral of the divergence of the vector field.
In my book i = r hat and k = z hat but I didn't know ow to add those symbols. I've been trying to do both integrals but I get different answers for each. trying to find my error(s)
