No, for example (-yi +xj)/(x^2 + y^2) is irrotational but not conservative on the domain {(x,y}|x^2 + y^2 > 0}.

Under what condition is a vector field considered conservative if the curl of the field is zero?

A vector field is considered conservative when its curl is zero.


What are rotational and irrotational fields?

Irrotational,rotational,solenoidal vecter field


What do you understand by rotational and irrotational fields?

Irrotational fields are conservative, simply connected (path independent), and have no curl (del cross the field) = 0Rotational fields are orthogonal MTM=I, symmetrical, representable in any finite dimension through orthogonal matrix multiplication


Is curl of vector function F must perpendicular to every vector function f?

No, the curl of a vector field is a vector field itself and is not required to be perpendicular to every vector field f. The curl is related to the local rotation of the vector field, not its orthogonality to other vector fields.


Is the magnetic force an example of a nonconservative force?

Yes. For any vector field, force included, to be conservative, it must be irrotational, meaning that its curl must be zero everywhere. Fortunately (for me at least, since it makes this answer a whole heck of a lot easier to explain), the magnetic force field vector is already commonly expressed as a curl via Maxwell's equations:∇ X B = μ0J + μ0ε0∂E/∂t,where B is the magnetic field, μ0 is the permeability of free space, ε0 is the permittivity of free space, J is the current density, E is the electric field, t is time, and ∇ X B is the curl of the magnetic field. Bolded quantities are vectors.Now, if you don't know a thing about vector calculus, hopefully you at least remembered what I wrote above. For a vector field to be conservative, its curl must be zero everywhere. As you can hopefully see from that above equation, the curl of the magnetic field, ∇ X B, is not zero everywhere. More specifically, if there is a current density, J, within the magnetic field, or if there is a time changing electric field, ∂E/∂t, within the magnetic field, the curl of the magnetic field is not zero, therefore the magnetic force field is nonconservative.If you get lucky enough to find a situation where there is no current density or time dependent electric field, which is in reality impossible due to electrons providing there own time dependent electric fields, then the magnetic force field would be conservative.


Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?

Vector.


What is vector field?

A vector field is a mathematical construct that assigns a vector to every point in a space, often used in physics and engineering to represent quantities that have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force. In a two-dimensional space, for example, a vector field can be visualized as arrows of varying lengths and orientations across a plane, indicating how these quantities change over that area. Vector fields can be analyzed to understand flow patterns, gradients, and other dynamic behaviors in various contexts.


What is Divergence and curl of vector field?

Divergence and curl are two fundamental operators in vector calculus that describe different aspects of a vector field. The divergence of a vector field measures the rate at which "stuff" is expanding or contracting at a point, indicating sources or sinks in the field. Mathematically, it is represented as the dot product of the del operator with the vector field. Curl, on the other hand, measures the rotation or circulation of the field around a point, indicating how much the field "curls" or twists; it is represented as the cross product of the del operator with the vector field.


Is magnetic field conservative field?

it is not a conservative feild....it is a non conservative feild


Is field vector quantity?

no


Is the magnetic field a vector quantity?

Yes, the magnetic field is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.


Current is scaler or vector?

Scaler. The electric field is its vector counterpart.
