Application of Gauss’s Law: Differential Volume ElementChapter 3 Electric Flux Density, Gauss’s Law, and DIvergence
We are now going to apply the methods of Gauss’s law to a slightly different type of problem: a surface without symmetry.
We have to choose such a very small closed surface that D is almost constant over the surface, and the small change in D may be adequately represented by using the first two terms of the Taylor’s-series expansion for D.
The result will become more nearly correct as the volume enclosed by the gaussian surface decreases.

Consider any point P, located by a rectangular coordinate system.
The value of D at the point P may be expressed in rectangular components:

We now choose as our closed surface, the small rectangular box, centered at P, having sides of lengths Δx, Δy, and Δz, and apply Gauss’s law:

Application of Gauss’s Law: Differential Volume ElementWe will now consider the front surface
in detail.The surface element is very small, thus
D is essentially constant over this surface (a portion of the entire closed surface):

better as Δv becomes smaller.For the moment, we have applied Gauss’s law to the closed

“The divergence of the vector flux density A is the outflow of flux from a small closed surface per unit volume as the volume shrinks to zero.”
A positive divergence of a vector quantity indicates a source of that vector quantity at that point.
Similarly, a negative divergence indicates a sink.
