This picture represents the field lines of a single positive point charge.

What is the divergence in the boxed region? What is the divergence of the whole field?

  1. Boxed region is zero; whole field is zero
  2. Boxed region is non-zero; whole field is zero
  3. Boxed region is zero; whole field is non-zero
  4. Boxed region is non-zero; whole field is non-zero
  5. ???
