| Nov 27, 2022 at 7:06 | comment | added | Ghoster | Any arbitrary charge distribution can be considered a collection of point charges. The fields of each point charge simply superpose. Since the field of a static point charge is conservative, the field of a static collection of point charges is conservative. | |

| Nov 27, 2022 at 5:25 | comment | added | joseph h | "Path independence is achieved when the line integral of the vector field for path A to B to A is equal to zero" It's zero if A=B. That is, over a closed loop. You can prove this to yourself mathematically. Another feature of conservative fields is that they are irrotational i.e., $\nabla\times E=0$ and this is something you can also do. | |
