In integral form, this expression is usually formulated in terms of a surface integral that is proportional to the enclosed (*) charge, while its differential version states that the divergence of the electric field is proportional to the charge density.
The application of this theorem usually involves the construction of its namesake surface, such as its "pillbox." This theorem can be derived from Coulomb's Law by integrating over a Dirac delta function. In integral form, this expression is usually formulated in terms of a surface integral that is proportional to the enclosed (*) charge, while its differential version states that the divergence of the electric field is proportional to the charge density. For 10 points, identify this law, one of Maxwell's Equations and named for a German scientist.
