I have a question pertaining to mathematically possible E fields.
I've always known the curl of the field has to be zero for the field to be a possible electric field, but is this the sole determining factor? What about if the potential is some wonky function that doesn't seem plausible, and what about discontinuities?
Also, a semantics question, would you think an electric field is mathematically possible if the charge distribution is physically impossible to create?
