Hello aspirant,

The divergence of the vector field is scalar. Divergence measures the discharging rate of a vector field. If v is the velocity field of a fluid, then the divergence of v at a point is the discharge of the fluid less the arrival at the point.

The curl of a vector field is a vector field. The curl of a vector field at a point measures the tendency of particles at that point to rotate about the axis that points in the direction of the curl at the point.

Hope this helps,

All the Best!!
