For closed immersed submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, we prove that | μ | 2 d V V / R 2 , where μ is the mean curvature field, V the volume of the given submanifold and R is the radius of the smallest sphere enclosing the submanifold. Moreover, we prove that the equality holds only for minimal submanifolds of this sphere.
