Alternate Solutions

Electromagnetism $\Rightarrow$ }Vector Calculus

There are two identities from vector calculus one has to know by heart. The one directly applicable to this problem is:

$\nabla \cdot (\nabla \times \vec{H})=0<br />$

Plug in the equation given in the problem to the identity above to get 0.

(The other identity, not quite as useful for this problem, but perhaps useful for subsequent problems, is: $\nabla\times(\nabla f)$ )
