A Pictorial Method of Visualizing Curl Determinant Operation Utilized in Electromagnetics

摘要

Curl and Determinant operations are well known in the field of Electromagnetics and fluiddynamics.Famous Maxwell’s equations involve curl operation. Though this operation is widely used to represent rotation, we do not have sufficient literature explaining how this operation represents rotation.Most of the books omit detailed discussion on the physical interpretation of the Curl and Determinant operation.In this paper we have attempted to develop a pictorial method to provide a logical proof showing the versatility of this operation to study the rotating vectors. We further show how this pictorialmethod simplifies the fundamental expression with regard todeterminants.
