Option C

10

Solution :

The correct answer is 10.

To find the value of the triple integral:

V ( · E ) d V

we need to first compute the divergence of the given vector field, E(x,y,z).

The vector field is given by:

E ( x , y , z ) = 2 x 2 i ^ + 5 y j ^ + 3 z k ^

Step 1: Calculate the divergence of E
The divergence of a vector field is the sum of its partial derivatives with respect to each coordinate variable:

· E = x ( 2 x 2 ) + y ( 5 y ) + z ( 3 z )

Evaluating the partial derivatives:
x(2x2)=4x
y(5y)=5
z(3z)=3

Adding these together gives the divergence:

· E = 4 x + 5 + 3 = 4 x + 8

Step 2: Set up and evaluate the triple integral
The volume V is a unit cube bounded by:

0 x 1 , 0 y 1 , 0 z 1

Therefore, the volume integral is defined as:

0 1 0 1 0 1 ( 4 x + 8 ) d x d y d z

Since the integrand depends only on x, we can separate the integrals:

( 0 1 ( 4 x + 8 ) d x ) · ( 0 1 d y ) · ( 0 1 d z )

The integrals with respect to y and z are both equal to 1:

0 1 d y = [ y ] 0 1 = 1

0 1 d z = [ z ] 0 1 = 1

Now, evaluate the integral with respect to x:

0 1 ( 4 x + 8 ) d x = [ 2 x 2 + 8 x ] 0 1

= ( 2 ( 1 ) 2 + 8 ( 1 ) ) - ( 2 ( 0 ) 2 + 8 ( 0 ) )

= 2 + 8 = 10

Thus, the value of the triple integral is 10.
