Basically a case where a positive charge q is placed in space which for convenience is taken as the origin. This electric field must have a large positive divergence but yet when evaluated mathematically we get 0. Also when we find divergence, we find it for a point right ? or is it possible to find it for a region as a whole ? If the former is true then at any point other than the origin, flux going in is greater than flux coming out and therefore the divergence of this vector field at this point should be negative. Where am I going wrong?
