1.13 CURL OF A VECTOR
The curl of vector A is an axial (rotational) vector whose magnitude is the maximum circulation of A per unit area tends to zero and whose direction is the normal direction of the area when the area is oriented so as to make the circulation maximum.

CURL OF A VECTOR (Cont’d)
The curl of the vector field is concerned with rotation of the vector field. Rotation can be used to measure the uniformity of the field, the more non uniform the field, the larger value of curl.
