Abstract
The concept of the divergence is fundamental in electromagnetic field theory, yet they are especially difficult mathematical concepts. Understanding this concept requires strong spatial and abstract thinking. When teaching, through the graphical and quantitative methods presented herein, the significance of the divergence is displayed by a quantitative method for the first time. Through these methods, the concepts of the divergence can be grasped more easily. These explanations will be helpful for students to strengthen the understanding of this concept and has a certain reference significance.
