The Stokes theorem states
where the boundary orientation is induced by the chosen normal through the right-hand rule.
For ,
and its divergence is , verifying .
Orient the paraboloid , , upward and the planar annulus downward. Their outer boundary orientations cancel. The remaining boundary is the unit circle at counterclockwise and the unit circle at clockwise, viewed from above. On a unit circle at height , direct parametrization gives
Hence the boundary integral is .
On the lower annulus, , giving . On the paraboloid, , so the flux integrand is
The odd terms integrate to zero over the annulus, while the rest integrates to . The total surface integral is , equal to the boundary integral.
