Homework Statement
Using Stoke’s theorem and the identities given, ∇x∇(Scalar)=0 deduce the relationship between electrostatic field E and potential ψ at a point in space, show that E = -∇ψ
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Does this question mean show a derivation which uses Stoke’s theorem and mathematical identities to obtain E = -∇ψ ?
Or is something else required since it states, "∇x∇(Scalar)=0 deduce the relationship between electrostatic field E and potential ψ at a point in space". I wasn't sure if by a derivation arriving at E = -∇ψ then in effect this would be illustrated.
Thanks
