Gauss's Law (120 minutes)

Divergence (40 min)

Divergence Theorem (20 min)

  • Reading: GVC § Divergence Theorem
  • Derivation of the Divergence Theorem (lecture). We follow “div, grad, curl and all that”, by Schey. The Divergence theorem is almost a lemma based on the definition of divergence. Draw a diagram of an arbitrary volume divided into lots of little cubes. Calculate the sum of all the fluxes out of all the little cubes (isn't this a strange sum to consider!!) and argue that the flux out of one cube is the flux into the adjacent cube unless the cube is on the boundary.
