39. This relation is valid even for an irregular shape!!
“Using Green’s theorem we can evaluate either a line integral around a closed path or a double integral over the area inclosed, whichever is easier to do.”

40. Example 1.

46. 10. Divergence and divergence theorem (발산과 발산정리)
1) Physical meaning of divergence
flow of a gas, heat, electricity, or particles
: flow of water
amount of water crossing A’ for t

47. - Rate at which water flows across surface 1
- Net outflow along x-axis
In this way,
“Divergence is the net rate of outflow per unit volume at a point.”

48. cf. (from ‘Griffiths’)
(a) positive divergence for positive charge (or negative divergence for a negative charge)
(b) zero divergence
(c) positive divergence along the z-axis

49. cf. (from ‘Griffiths’)
Example 1.4 in Figure 1.18

50. 2) Example of the divergence 1
 = (source density) minus (sink density)
= net mass of fluid being created (or added via something like a minute sprinkler system) per unit time per unit volume
 = density of fluid = mass per unit volume
/t = time rate of increase of mass per unit volume
Rate of increase of mass in dxdydz
= (rate of creation) minus (rate of outward flow)
1) If there is no source or sinks, 2)

51. 3) Example of the divergence 2
Consider any closed surface.
