Explanation Given information: The given vector field is F = 〈 y , x , z 〉 . Formula used: Potential function of a vector field F = 〈 F 1 , F 2 , F 3 〉 will exist if curl F = ∇ × F = 0 Thus, F is conservative. ∇ × F = | i j k ∂ ∂ x ∂ ∂ y ∂ ∂ z F 1 F 2 F 3 | Potential function for the vector field F = 〈 F 1 , F 2 , F 3 〉 is given by a function f such that F = 〈 F 1 ( x , y , z ) , F 2 ( x , y , z ) , F 3 ( x , y , z ) 〉 = ∇ f Where ∇ f = 〈 f x , f y , f z 〉 Calculation: Consider the given vector field. F = 〈 y , x , z 〉 Here, F 1 ( x , y , z ) = y , F 2 ( x , y , z ) = x and F 3 ( x , y , z ) = z Now check whether F is conservative or not. ∇ × F = | i j k ∂ ∂ x ∂ ∂ y ∂ ∂ z y x z | = i [ ∂ ∂ y ( z ) − ∂ ∂ z ( x ) ] − j [ ∂ ∂ x ( z ) − ∂ ∂ z ( y ) ] + k [ ∂ ∂ x ( x ) − ∂ ∂ y ( y ) ] = i [ 0 − 0 ] − j [ 0 − 0 ] + k [ 1 − 1 ] = 0 Therefore, F is conservative vector field
