Application of Gauss’s Law: Differential Element Volume
• Apply Gauss’s law to a problem that does not possess any
symmetry
• Without symmetry, a Gaussian surface cannot be chosen such
that the normal component of D is constant or zero
everywhere on the surface
• Choose a very small closed surface (Δν ) where D is almost
constant over the surface
• In this procedure, we will not obtain a solution for D
• Instead we will obtain some valuable information about D

Example:
Allowing the volume element Δν to shrink to zero, an exact
relationship can be derived
The divergence of the vector flux density D is the outflow of flux
from a small closed surface per unit volume as the volume shrinks
to zero.

• The physical meaning of this form is defining the divergence of electric
flux density vector as per unit volume flux emerging from an incremental
volume (point) due to the charge (source) distribution in space.
• The divergence refers to a flux that diverges (or converges)
as determined by the charge distribution.
• In the absence of ρv, the divergence of the electric flux is zero, which
indicates that the flux does not diverge (or converge).
• The presence of a charge distribution at the location (ρv ≠0) will cause the
flux to diverge (positive ρv) or converge (negative ρv causes negative
divergence).
• A positive divergence for any vector quantity indicates a source
of that vector quantity at that point. Similarly, a negative divergence
indicates a sink.

Divergence Theorem
The integral of the normal component of any vector field over a
closed surface is equal to the integral of the divergence of this
vector field throughout the volume enclosed by the closed surface.
