Magnetic Field or Winding

W[( x )] = 1/(x^2 + y^2) ( -y )              y                                      x              z                                      0 swirls around cylinders centered on the z-axis.

Inverse Square Law

G[X] = 1/(| X |^2) · 1/(| X |) X = 1/ρ^2R, has zero divergence,  ∇•G = 0, except at the origin where it is undefined.
