Short Answer

Use what you know about averages to propose a formula for the average rate of flux of a vector field F(x, y ,z) through a smooth surface S in the direction of n.

Hence, the average rate of flux of a vector field f(x,y,z) on a smooth surface S is,Fav(S)=SF(x,y,z)ndSS1dS

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given

The given function is f(x, y, z) .

Step 2. Finding the average rate of flux of a vector field through smooth surface

Surface integrals of multivariate functions f(x,y,z) is,f(x, y, z)n. dS.The surface area of the smooth surface S is,S1dSHence, the average rate of flux of a vector field f(x,y,z) on a smooth surface S is,Fav(S)=SF(x,y,z)ndSS1dS
