Gauss law states that for outward-oriented boundary ,For a continuously differentiable field and continuous density, the divergence theorem turns the left side into . Thus the differential law implies the integral law. Conversely, if the integral law holds for every suitable volume, the integral of vanishes on every small ball. A nonzero continuous value would keep one strict sign in some small ball, a contradiction. Hence . Weaker regularity gives the corresponding almost-everywhere or distributional formulation.
