Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFVector potential (A): The vector potential is a vector field associated with a magnetic field. It is a mathematical concept used to describe certain properties of the magnetic field.
Curl of A \((\nabla \times A)\): The curl of the vector potential is a mathematical operation that results in another vector field. In the context of electromagnetism, the curl of A is denoted as \(\nabla \times A. \)
Magnetic flux density(B): The magnetic flux density (B) is a vector field that describes the strength and direction of a magnetic field.
\(\nabla\times A = B\)
This equation means that the curl of the vector potential is equal to the magnetic flux density.
Here, option 1 is correct.
