    Why is the curl of Biot-Savart Law equal to zero?

    Ahh, that makes more sense. If the curl of B is zero everywhere except for r = 0, I'm guessing the magnitude is probably more in line with a unit impulse function, right?

    Why is the curl of Biot-Savart Law equal to zero?

    My understanding of the curl of a vector field is the amount of circulation per unit area with a direction normal to the area. For the vector field described as \textbf{B} =\boldsymbol{\hat\phi} \frac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi r} I figured the curl would be something more like this, because it points in...
