The divergence theorem says that the flux penetrating a closed surface § that bounds ‘a volume V is equal to the divergence of the field F inside the volume, f Fas= [v-mav Use the divergence theorem to rewrite the left side as a volume integral.

Because the only quantity for which the integral is 0, is 0 itself, the expression in the integrand can be set to 0. p v-E-£-0 € This leads to Gauss' law in differential form. v-E=j2 €0 ©) Gauss’ Law for Magnetism Begin with Gauss’ law for magnetism in integral form. f B-dS=0 8 Invoke the divergence theorem.
