What is the physical significance of divergence, curl and gradient?
I see. Can you give me an example of where we might use these concepts in real life?
Absolutely. One common use for the gradient is in calculating the rate of change of temperature in a room. The curl can be used in fluid dynamics to calculate the direction of fluid paths, while divergence is used in electrostatics to determine the amount of electric charge at a given point.
