Abstract:This paper presents an electrostatic situation in which the circulation of an electrostatic field around a closed path is non-zero. This fact contradicts the theorem that the circulation of an electrostatic field around any closed path is zero.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
