Solenoidal FieldA solenoidal Vector Field satisfies
 | (1) |
for every Vector , where is the Divergence.If this condition is satisfied, there exists a vector , known as the Vector Potential, such that
 | (2) |
where is the Curl. This follows from the vector identity
 | (3) |
If is an Irrotational Field, then
 | (4) |
is solenoidal. If and are irrotational, then
 | (5) |
is solenoidal. The quantity
 | (6) |
where is the Gradient, is always solenoidal. For a function satisfying Laplace's Equation
 | (7) |
it follows that is solenoidal (and also Irrotational).See also Beltrami Field, Curl, Divergence, Divergenceless Field, Gradient, Irrotational Field,Laplace's Equation, Vector Field References
