Prompt

“The curl of an arbitrary vector field is equal to”

$$\Vec ∇\times \Vec v = ?$$

Context

This SWBQ leads to discussion and review of the curl vector operator (supposed to be) learned in a previous course. This reminder is useful when students learn the differential form of Maxwell's equations for the first time.
