= Curl in spherical coordinates
{title2=$\nabla\times$}

For $\mathbf A=A_r\mathbf e_r+A_\theta\mathbf e_\theta+A_\phi\mathbf e_\phi$, the spherical-coordinate curl follows from the orthogonal-coordinate scale factors $1,r,r\sin\theta$.

Its coordinate expression is part of <del in cylindrical and spherical coordinates>.
