The Attempt at a Solution
Hi,
Ok, so for the first part of this question it asks to evaluate the integral of the dot product between A and dS. The magnitude of dS is as shown above, and it is in the radial direction in spherical polar coordinates. Here, A(r) is the unit vector of θ in spherical polar. And since we know that the polar direction θ and the radial direction are orthogonal to each, their dot product must = 0. Therefore, the integral of A.dS must be equal to zero. Is this line of thought correct?
Thanks.
