Notes:
Two types of discontinuities are considered in conjunction with the conservation laws: those that arise from a limit of finite and differentiable functions in a boundary layer and those that do not. It is shown that the former, which prevail in electromagnetism, do not play a role in the conservation laws, but the situation in other areas of physics, such as general relativity, may be more complex. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the first type of discontinuity is derived. For the second type, the conservation laws are no longer of the conventional form.
