But the curl of the field is zero everywhere except at the wire. I believe you have reinforced the OP’s misunderstanding. | |
| Apr 13, 2020 at 21:33 | comment | added | Charles Francis | I thought that was obvious. And anyway I already did. The field of dipoles does not contain any element of a circular field like this. That is why the curl is zero. | |
