   1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
   
   I am to show: closed integral {phi (grad phi)} X (n^)dS=0
   
   2. Relevant equations
   
   
   
   3. The attempt at a solution
   
   I understand I am to use divergence theorem here.but cannot approach.Please help

   Try using [tex]\int_S n \times a dS = \int_V curl(a) dV[/tex].
