The divergence of a vector is a scalar. State True/False.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me in homework.Query is from Divergence in chapter Vector Calculus of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

Right option is (a) True

Easy explanation: Divergence can be computed only for a vector. Since it is the MEASURE of OUTWARD flow of FLUX from a small closed surface as the VOLUME shrinks to zero, the result will be directionless (scalar).
