Electrodynamics, Curl of P and D

AI Thread Summary
In electrodynamics, the curl of the electric displacement field (D) and the polarization field (P) is equal in static conditions, as the magnetic field (B) does not vary with time. For linear media, both curls are zero, which simplifies the analysis of electric fields. Understanding the origin of these curls can enhance the conceptualization of electric fields, similar to the established understanding of magnetic fields. The discussion seeks a general expression for the curl of D or P that is independent of the other field. Clarifying these relationships can provide deeper insights into the behavior of electric fields in various contexts.

I know that in statics curl of P=curl of D, since the variation of B in time = 0, and I also know that for linear mediums those curls are 0, but I don't know why, and I don't know if there is any expresion always valid.

I would like to know where this curl comes from like I know where the curl and the divergence of magnetic/inducción/magnetitation field comes so I can picture the electric field in my head easier, as I do with magnetic field, thank you.

I know this is valid always, but i would like to know if we can have the curl of D or P in an expresion that doesn't depend on the other one
