When curl of a path is zero, the field is said to be conservative. State True/False.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked in an international level competition.This question is from Electrostatic Energy topic in chapter Electrostatic Fields of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

Correct option is (a) True

To elaborate: By Stoke’s theorem, when curl of a PATH becomes ZERO, then

∫ E.dl = 0. In other words the work DONE in a closed path will ALWAYS be zero. Fields having this property is called CONSERVATIVE or lamellar fields.
