What is the difference between a vortex electric field and an electrostatic or stationary one?
November 14, 2020 | Education
| The lines of force of the vortex electric field are closed, this field is caused by a time-varying magnetic field, and the electrostatic field is created by stationary charges, its lines of force are open, they begin and end on charges. The work of moving a charge along a closed path in a vortex field is not zero, but in an electrostatic field it is zero.
