Curl Equations
Curl equations are derived from Faraday's laws of
Electromagnetic induction and Amperes circuital law. The
two Curl equations can be used to solve any electromagnetic
filed problem as the divergent equations are inherent in them
Curl physically means that vector is changing in both
magnitude and direction. Faradays' law of induction states
that time varying magnetic flux passing through a surface
produces an emf around that surface or physically it can be
stated that time varying magnetic flux produces electric
current. Faraday's law is illustrated using simple
galvanometer experiment shown in Fig.5.
