In this video lecture, we explore the concepts of divergence and curl of electrostatic fields, which are crucial to understand Gauss's law. We start by discussing the concept of divergence, which measures the extent to which a vector field originates or converges at a given point. Then, we delve into the curl, which measures the tendency of a vector field to rotate around a given point. Finally, we apply these concepts to derive Gauss's law, which relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the charge enclosed by that surface. This video is based on the book by David J. Griffiths, and it provides a comprehensive understanding of these fundamental concepts in electrodynamics.
