Last maxwell's equations calculates curl of b. does it guarantees us that curl of b should never be zero? in what conditions curl of b can be zero? what does it

Last Maxwell's Equations calculates curl of B. Does it guarantees us that curl of B should never be zero? In what conditions curl of B can be zero? What does it physically signifies that curl of B is zero somewhere in space?

    in free space and electrostatic condition curl of B is zero. Because in electrostatics all charges and Electric field is stationary. there is no variation with time. hence dE/dt=0. and in free space charge density(rho)=0 and current density(J)=0. hence curl of B becomes zero using Maxwell's fourth equation.

    curl of B is not zero alwys, it is zero when Either j Is zero or E is zero ..

    yes

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes,in case of bar magnet ,it can be zero ..

    suppose I take bar magnet. then current density J would be zero, as well as there is no time changing electric field, so both terms at RHS are zero. then in that condition, do we say that curl of B is zero

    because for charge free region rho and J is zero and for static medium dE/dt =0

    eduncle-logo-app

    okay. it means that we can consider the case of bar magnet here.

    eduncle-logo-app

    can't say about it

    but in my opinion it may be .

    no dear curl of B is not zero

    eduncle-logo-app

    charge free statics medium , it would be zero
