# GATE EC 2011 Electromagnetics Solution

Consider a closed surface S surrounding a volume V. If $\overrightarrow r$ is the position vector of a point inside s, with $\widehat n$ the unit normal on S,the value of the integral $\oint\limits_S5\overrightarrow r\cdot\widehat nds$

a) 3 V

b) 5 V

c) 10 V

d) 10 V

Ans- d

Explanation

For close surface, we can use Divergence Theorem.

$\oint_s\overrightarrow A\cdot\overrightarrow{ds}=\int_v\left(\nabla\cdot\overrightarrow A\right)dv$

$\oint\limits_S5\overrightarrow r\cdot\widehat nds=\underset V{\int\int\int}\nabla\cdot5\overrightarrow rdv$ $\begin{array}{l}\nabla\cdot r=\frac1{r^2}\frac\partial{\partial r}\left(r^2r\right)\\\\\;\;\;\;\;\;=\frac3{r^2}\cdot r^2=3\end{array}$ $5\underset V{\int\int\int}\nabla\cdot\overrightarrow rdv=5\times3V=15V$
