I was reading about the topic on wikipedia at the following link:
Continuity equation - Wikipedia
I have a question in the 'General Equation, Definition of Flux and Integral Form' paras...!!
The description till the following is understood:
But then suddenly in the next section (Integral Form), it is stated:
"Rate of q PLUS the surface integral of j.ds = sigma"
My question is:
Shouldnt it follow from the earlier description that:
"Rate of q MINUS the surface integral of j.ds = sigma"
I mean didnt we just equate dq/dt to surface integral of flux...??
If x = y, then further algebraic manipulation would lead to x - y = 0
So why in the following line the two terms are added...!! Whatever is present inside the surface integral is EQUAL to dq/dt...!!
Regards
