== Mathematical Formulation == === Integral Form === <math> \oint_{\text{closed surface}} \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A} = 0 </math> Where: * <math>\vec{B}</math> is the magnetic field vector (in tesla, T), * <math>d\vec{A}</math> is a vector representing an infinitesimal area on the closed surface, pointing outward. This means that the net magnetic flux through any closed surface is always zero. === Differential Form === By applying the divergence theorem to the integral form, we obtain the differential form: <math> \nabla \cdot \vec{B} = 0 </math> This states that the divergence of the magnetic field is zero everywhere.
