curl

the curl of vector field \(F = \langle P,Q,R \rangle\), denoted \(\nabla \times F\), is the “determinant” of the matrix \(\begin{vmatrix} i & j & k \nonumber \\ \dfrac{\partial}{\partial x} & \dfrac{\partial}{\partial y} & \dfrac{\partial}{\partial z} \nonumber \\ P & Q & R \end{vmatrix}\) and is given by the expression \((R_y - Q_z)i + (P_z - R_x ) j + (Q_x - P_y) k\); it measures the tendency of particles at a point to rotate about the axis that points in the direction of the curl at the point
