MathLiveGauss's law for magnetism
States that the divergence of the magnetic field is zero everywhere, meaning magnetic field lines have no sources or sinks and magnetic monopoles do not exist. It is one of Maxwell's equations.
\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0What the symbols mean
| magnetic flux density (tesla, T) | |
| divergence operator |
