    Curl Magnitude Calculation

    • The curl of vector F = 2xi + 3yj + 4zk is being calculated.
    • The magnitude of the curl is asked for.
    • The curl of a vector (in this case, F) is a vector operator that measures the rotation of the vector field.
    • In this case, the rotation of vector F is zero because the vector components are independent of their position.
    • The correct answer is 0.
