Yes, it is not possible to take a scalar field from a non-conservative field; what I was trying to say is that it could be easier to find the scalar field that represents the closest conservative vector field than find directly the conservative field.
But about you said, then I will need just...
Homework Statement
My problem is, I have a scalar field and I take the gradient of this field. It is known that the gradient of a scalar function is a conservative vector field; but I need to run a procedure in this field that will modify the vector field; the modified vector field could be a...
