Curl And Potential

157 Views Asked by At

Every vector field which has a potential, therefore it can be expressed as the gradient of a certain potential, doesn't have any curl.

Thus : $\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{v} = 0$, where $\vec{v}$ is the vector field in question.

The question is:

Is the other way around also true? does every vector field without any curl always have a potential ?
