like the divergence of a charged particle (whether + or -) Is there any possibility of presence of curl of elctric field of that particle?

If the charge is moving and producing a changing B field, there will be a curl of E.

i'm talking about the electrostatic field of a static charge!

if the electric field is composed of only stationary charges, then dB/dt=0
 
clem just said there's a curl of E only if the particle is moving
