Understanding the Divergence Theorem and Flux Integrals

This video tutorial demonstrates how to use the divergence theorem to evaluate a flux integral over a surface bounded by a cylinder and planes. It explains the theorem's conditions, applies it to a vector field, and uses cylindrical coordinates for integration. The tutorial concludes with a step-by-step evaluation of the integral, resulting in the total flow across the surface.
