  1. Consider the vector field F(x, y) =

y r^3

i −

x r^3

j,

where r =

x^2 + y^2.

(a) (5 pts) Calculate the divergence of F, div F. (b) (10 pts) For a closed curve C that does not go around the origin, evaluate the outward flux

C F^ ·^ n^ ds.^ Can Green’s Theorem be used here?^ Explain your answer. (c) (10 pts) For the unit circle C around the origin, find the outward flux

C F^ ·^ n^ ds. Can Green’s Theorem be used here? Explain your answer.
