Suppose that an electric field is given by

E=2yi+2xyj+yzk

Compute the flux ∫S E⋅ndA of the field through the unit cube [0,1]×[0,1]×[0,1].

Short Answer

Expert verified

Ans: The required flux of the vector field through the surface S is 32.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

given, E=2yi+2xyj+yzk

02

Step 2. The surface of a unit cube is a piecewise smooth parametrized surface. It is the union of its six faces, each one of which is a smooth parametrized surface namely, a portion of a plane.

More explicitly, suppose that a cube's faces are portions of the planesx=0,x=1,y=0,y=1,z=0,z=1.Then the cube's faces are parameterized as follows:
r1(u,v)=(0,u,v); â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…r2(u,v)=(1,u,v); â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…r3(u,v)=(u,0,v);r4(u,v)=(u,1,v); â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…r5(u,v)=(u,v,0); â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…r6(u,v)=(u,v,1).

In this case, the flux of this field through the unit cube will be,

localid="1650478851021" ∫S E⋅ndA=∫S1 E⋅ndA+∫S2 E⋅ndA+∫S3 E⋅ndA+∫S4 E⋅ndA+∫S3 E⋅ndA+∫S6 E⋅ndA.....(1)

03

Step 3. The faces have well-defined nonzero normal vectors.

For the faces S1,S2,S3,S4,S5andS6, the unit nominal vectors will be,

n1=−i,n2=i,n3=−j,n4=j,n5=−k,n6=k,

respectively.

For each, the region of integration is described as follows,

D={(u,v)∣0≤u≤1,0≤v≤1}

04

Step 4. Use the parametrization for each face and formula (1) and (2), the flux of this field through the unit cube will be,

∫S E⋅ndA=∫S1 E⋅ndA+∫S2 E⋅ndA+∫S3 E⋅ndA+∫S4 E⋅ndA+∫S3 E⋅ndA+∫S6 E⋅ndA=∫S1 (2yi+2xyj+yzk)⋅(−i)dA+∫S2 (2yi+2xyj+yzk)⋅idA+∫S3 (2yi+2xyj+yzk)⋅(−j)dA+∫S4 (2yi+2xyj+yzk)⋅jdA+∫S3 (2yi+2xyj+yzk)⋅(−k)dA+∫S6 (2yi+2xyj+yzk)⋅kdA=∫S1 −2ydA+∫S2 2ydA+∫S3 −2xydA+∫S4 2xydA+∫S5 −yzdA+∫S6 yzdA.

Step 5. Use the parametrization for each surface, then,

∫S E⋅ndA=∫S1 −2ydA+∫S2 2ydA+∫S3 −2xydA+∫S4 2xydA+∫S5 −yzdA+∫S6 yzdA=∫01 ∫01 −2ududv+∫01 ∫01 2ududv+∫01 ∫01 −2u⋅0dudv+∫01 ∫01 2u1dudv+∫01 ∫01 −v0dudv+∫01 ∫01 v1dudv=−∫01 ∫01 2ududv+∫01 ∫01 2ududv+0+∫01 ∫01 2u1dudv+0+∫01 ∫01 v1dudv=∫01 ∫01 2ududv+∫01 ∫01 vdudv=∫01 ∫01 2ududv+∫01 ∫01 vdudv=∫01 u201dv+∫01 v[u]01dv=∫01 12−02dv+∫01 v[1−0]dv=∫01 1dv+∫01 vdv=[v]01+v2201=[1−0]+122−022=32.

Therefore, the required flux of the vector field through the surface S is32.
