Why is the curl of a conservative vector field zero?
There has been a couple of answers that state that by definition a conservative field is that which can be written as the gradient of a scalar function or directly that whose curl is zero. Although this are all correct, I don´t think they are very clarifying. I´ll try to explain in a physical intuitive way.
Let´s define a conservative vector field as one whose linear integral between any two points does not depend in the path chosen, which is also a correct definition.
Now it´s a bit more clear why it is called conservative field. From this it is easy to deduce that the line integral of a circular path must be zero in a conservative field.
Let´s see now Stoke´s Theorem :
Stoke´s Theorem states that the surface integral of the curl of a vector field over a surface equals the line integral over the border of this surface .
If the surface integral of the curl must be zero for any surface chosen, it must be zero everywhere.
But I wanted to give a clarifying answer, so I will explain why the Stoke´s Theorem is true (I´m not sure this qualifies as demonstration so let´s leave it in explanation).
For any given loop:
If we divide in two loops:
This holds for any number of divisions:
Now for a sufficiently small loop:
And if the area is small enough we have:
So with this and the Riemann integral we have the Stoke´s Theorem.
