The discussion centers on the curl of the electrostatic field vector, particularly in the context of a finite parallel plate capacitor. Participants explore the implications of electrostatic forces being conservative and how this relates to the curl in different regions of the field.
There is a general agreement among participants that the curl of the electrostatic field is zero, but the specific implications at the edge of the capacitor remain a point of inquiry.
The discussion does not resolve the implications of the curl at the edge of the finite parallel plate capacitor, leaving assumptions and conditions regarding the field's behavior in that region unaddressed.
Electrostatic forces are conservative in nature. So, regardless of where the field is, their curl is always zero.Rajeswar Panja said:what will be the curl of electrostatic field at the edge region of the finite parallel plate capacitor?
