Total =3. Example of divergence Theorem in Physics The applicability of the concept of divergence can be explained through the celebrated Gauss’s law of electrostatics. Consider the electric field due to a point charge. The field lines move out radially in all directions and according to Coulomb’s law, the field intensity E, falls off with the distance r as 1 . 𝑟2 Now if the aim is to calculate the flux of this field through a given surface that encloses the charge. It is 0 easy to argue that the surface integral ∫ 𝐸⃗ . 𝑑𝑠 will be a constant which is independent of the distance at 𝑠 which the surface is located from the point charge, as the surface grows as 𝑟 2 with field going down as 1 , r2 making the above surface integral independent of r. according to Gauss’s law of electrostatics, 0 𝑞 ∫𝑠 𝐸⃗ . 𝑑𝑠 = 𝜀 where 𝜀0 is the permittivity of the medium. 0 Applying the divergence theorem, 0 0 ⃗⃗.
