like the divergence of a charged particle (whether + or -) Is there any possibility of presence of curl of elctric field of that particle?
clem said:If the charge is moving and producing a changing B field, there will be a curl of E.

The curl of the electric field for a charged particle is a measure of the rotation or circulation of the electric field around the particle. It is a vector quantity that describes the direction and magnitude of the rotational flow of the electric field.
The curl of the electric field is an important property for charged particles because it helps to determine the motion of the particles in an electric field. By calculating the curl, we can predict the path and behavior of the charged particle as it moves through the electric field.
Yes, the curl of the electric field can change over time. This is because the electric field itself can change over time, either due to the movement of the charged particle or due to changes in the external environment.
The curl of the electric field and the magnetic field are closely related through the Maxwell's equations. In particular, the curl of the electric field is one of the terms in the equation that describes the changing magnetic field over time.
The curl of the electric field for a charged particle is affected by various factors such as the magnitude and direction of the electric field, the charge and mass of the particle, and the presence of other charged particles or external magnetic fields. Any change in these factors can alter the curl of the electric field and subsequently affect the motion of the charged particle.
