The Curl of a Vector Field DOWNLOAD FREE

The curl of a scalar function If f is a scalar function, then [Equation goes here - download the original pdf to see it.] When a vector function is the gradient of a scalar function, then its curl is the zero vector. The rotation of such fields is zero, and they are consequently called irrotational or conservative. [Example goes here - download the original pdf to see it.]
