short static version of Poyting's theorem

So, as noted, we use Poynting's theorem (and the static version has a short derivation) to get: $$\frac{1}{\mu_0} \oint_{\partial V} (\vec{E} \times \vec{B}) \cdot d\vec{S} = -\int_V \vec{E} \cdot \vec{J} dV$$ The[The static version of Poynting's theorem is just: divergence theorem, $\nabla \cdot (\vec{E} \times \vec{B}) = \vec{B} \cdot (\nabla \times \vec{E}) - \vec{E} \cdot (\nabla \times \vec{B})$, then $\nabla \times \vec{E} = 0$ and $\nabla \times\vec{B} = \mu_0\vec{J}$]

The electric field is just the negative gradient of electric potential. We can use integration by parts in higher dimensions:

$$-\int_V \vec{E}\cdot\vec{J} dV = \int_V (\nabla \phi) \cdot \vec{J} dV = \oint_{\partial V} \phi \vec{J} \cdot d\vec{S} - \int_V \phi(\nabla \cdot \vec{J}) dV$$

The current density doesn't diverge. So it's just the first term, basically, the surface integral of voltage times current.

Of course your boundary condition says there's no current out of the surface, still, the previous statement holds in static situations even without that boundary condition.
