Statement:- It states that the surface integral of a normal component of any vector function on a closed surface is equal to the volume integral of the divergence of vector function.
Proof:-  The total charge enclosed by volume △V is given by
Divergence theorem formula
........(1)
The total outward flux coming out from the volume is △V equal to the charge enclosed.
Ψ△Q = charge density x volume
Ψ = △Q =ρv△V = ρv△x△y△z.......(2)
From equation (1) and (2)
Divergence theorem formula........(3)
The divergence of D is given by 
Divergence theorem formula
Divergence theorem formula........(4)
From (3) and (4) 
Divergence theorem formula
According to Gauss's Law
ψ = Q
