Explanation Given: F → = 〈 2 x z e x 2 , 0 , e x 2 〉 is a vector field. Formula used: If f is a potential function for the vector field F → then F → = ∇ → f Where, ∇ → = 〈 ∂ ∂ x , ∂ ∂ y , ∂ ∂ z 〉 Curl of a vector is given by ∇ → × F → If Curl F → = 0 F → is conservative then potential function exist. If Curl F → ≠ 0 mean F → is not conservative then potential function does not exist. Calculation: Checking for existence of the potential function by taking Curl of the given potential function, F → = 〈 2 x z e x 2 , 0 , e x 2 〉 we get- = ∇ → × F → = | i ^ j ^ k ^ ∂ ∂ x ∂ ∂ y ∂ ∂ z 2 x z e x 2 0 e x 2 | = i ^ × 0 − j ^ ( 2 x e x 2 − 2 x e x 2 ) + k ^ ( 0 − 0 ) = 0 Thus, Curl F → = 0 . This mean F → is conservative. Thus the potential function exists...
