(a)
Explain the Gaussian surface concept (mathematical closed surface) in Gauss's Law.
Use the surface integral in Stokes' Theorem to calculate the flux of the curl of the
field F across the surface S in the direction away from the origin.
F = 4yi + (5 - 5x)j + (z² − 2)k
S: r(0,0)=(√11 sin cos 0) i + (√11 sin o sin 0)j + (√11 c
