Let be the disk . The upper boundary is the graph , with outward vector vector surface element . Thus its flux isThe lower disk has outward normal vector and zero flux, since . The total outward surface integral is therefore .
Independently, and the enclosed volume isConsequently , agreeing with the divergence theorem. Both the orientation of the cap and inclusion of the closing disk have been accounted for.
