Subtopic: Vector differentiation

Question Statement:

A vector field $\vec{V}$ is called solenoidal if its divergence is identically zero, and irrotational if:

Options:

  • (A) $\nabla \times \vec{V} = 0$
  • (B) $\nabla \cdot \vec{V} = 1$
  • (C) $\nabla^2 \vec{V} = 0$
  • (D) $\vec{V} \cdot \vec{r} = 0$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

A vector field is irrotational (conservative) if its curl is zero: $\text{curl}(\vec{V}) = \nabla \times \vec{V} = 0$.
