Electric Flux Density, Gauss’s Law,
and Divergence
3.1 Electric Flux Density
• Faraday’s Experiment
Electric Flux Density, D
• Units: C/m2
• Magnitude: Number of flux lines (coulombs)
crossing a surface normal to the lines divided by
the surface area.
• Direction: Direction of flux lines (same direction
as E).
• For a point charge:
• For a general charge distribution,

the plane z = -5 m.
Gauss’s Law
• “The electric flux passing through any
closed surface is equal to the total charge
enclosed by that surface.”
• The integration is performed over a closed
surface, i.e. gaussian surface.
• We can check Gauss’s law with a point
charge example.
Symmetrical Charge Distributions
•
Gauss’s law is useful under two
conditions.
1. DS is everywhere either normal or
tangential to the closed surface, so that
DS.dS becomes either DS dS or zero,
respectively.
2. On that portion of the closed surface for
which DS.dS is not zero, DS = constant.
Gauss’s law simplifies the task of finding D near an
infinite line charge.

Differential Volume Element
• If we take a small enough closed surface,
then D is almost constant over the surface.

Divergence
Divergence is the outflow of flux from a small
closed surface area (per unit volume) as
volume shrinks to zero.
-Water leaving a bathtub
-Closed surface (water itself) is essentially incompressible
-Net outflow is zero
-Air leaving a punctured tire
-Divergence is positive, as closed surface (tire) exhibits net
outflow
