Is it obvious that the ‘force’ defined by these F = −∇ψ
two equations is essentially the same?
Is it obvious that the ‘force’ defined by
these two equations is essentially the
same?
The compatibility of the two expressions
emerges if, and only if,
the potential ψ is defined in such way
that the work done by the force given by
r
−∇ψ in displacing the object on which this
force acts, is independent of the path
along which the displacement occurred.

circulation and curl
circulation =
∫
r r r
A(r ).dl
C
Consider an open surface S, bounded by a closed curve C.
Circulation depends on the value of the vector at all points on C and
hence is not a scalar field; it is however a scalar quantity even if not a
scalar field which must be described/defined through a scalar point
function.
Shrink the closed path C; in the limit, the circulation would vanish;
and so would the area S bounded by C.
However, the ratio itself is finite in the limit;
it is a local quantity at that point.

Curl measures how much the vector
“curls” around at a point
PCD-08
curl of a vector field at a point represents the net circulation of
the field around that point.
the magnitude of curl at a given point represents the
maximum circulation at that point.
the direction of the curl vector is normal to the surface on
which the circulation (determined as per the right-hand-rule) is
the greatest.

The ‘curl’ of
the linear
velocity gives
you a
measure of
the angular
velocity; thus
justifying the
term ‘curl’.
Remind yourself of the preview we had shown in L0,
the 0th lecture:
The component of the curl of a vector field in the direction
is the circulation of the vector field per unit area about
the axis
,
or the amount to which a particle being carried by the vector
field is being rotated about

The curl of a vector is an important quantity.
A very important theorem in vector calculus is the
Helmholtz theorem which states that given the
divergence and the curl of a vector field, and
appropriate boundary conditions, the vector field is
completely specified. You will use this in PH102 to study
Maxwell’s equations which provide the curl and the
divergence of the electromagnetic field.
The ‘curl’ finds direct application also in the derivation
of the Bernoulli’s principle, as shown below.

the familiar method of evaluating the
indeterminate form 0/0 became incorrectly

The swing of a ball is
governed by Bernoulli's
theorem.
A swing bowler rubs only
one side of the ball. The ball
is then more rough on one
side than on the other.
Debashsish Mohanty
Inswing / Outswing
bowler
A white ball has a thin lacquer that is applied to its surface to avoid discoloring
the ball. During play, the shiny surface of the white ball remains shinier than
that of a red ball, which has a rougher surface to begin with.
The difference between the rough and shiny surface of a white ball is
much more, and thus it swings more than the red ball.
