As follows from Eq. 120) 44 I Fields and Their Generators Now let us make several comments: 1. The term div M is a scalar, since a density of distribution of terminal points is characterized by its magnitude and a sign only. In the next section we will study a geometric model of another type of field generators that require a vector to describe their distribution. 2. In accordance with Eq. 121) that demonstrates a direct connection between the divergence and the density of terminal points. 3. To calculate divM as follows from Eq.

The flux through the surface S surrounding this elementary volume LiV defines the number of terminal points within it. 117) LiV Thus, the flux through S, surrounding a small volume LiV and normalized by this volume, equals within a constant of proportionality l/a the density of terminal points of vector lines within this volume. This, in essence, represents the density of sources of the field. The importance of this notion is hard to overestimate since, if we would like to determine the behavior of a field, it is natural to have information about the distribution of its sources.

Integrating, we obtain a relation between the flux and the amount of vector lines through any surface S. 0 , ¢ = f M . 114) Thus, the flux ¢, as a pure mathematical concept, is expressed through the number of vector lines, which is much easier to visualize. In general, one part of the vector lines go from the back to the front side of the surface, giving a positive contribution, while others go in the opposite direction, defining a negative number of vector lines. Also, some of these lines can be tangential to the surface and correspondingly do not make any contribution.
