Decompose the E field into conservative and non-conservative parts

[QUOTE="SDL, post: 6826521, member: 731110"] As perfectly explained above by @[USER=260864]vanhees71[/USER], there's only one electric field observable, but due to the theorem it can be split into conservative and solenoidal parts. I guess you're trying to deal with the solenoidal part only since the conservative one is ok with its potential function. Actually this split doesn't make sense, because for a solenoidal E when calculating ##\int_A^B\mathbf{\vec{E}}\cdot \mathbf{\vec{dl}}## (in event of absence of convinient potentials) you'll likely fail. Indeed, having fixed all elements and the voltmeter in place, try to move any wire aside by a couple of inches and your voltmeter readings will immediately change. [/QUOTE]
