Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. If I know a field’s curl at all points in space, I can calculate the field’s vectors at all points in space.
2. In a certain region of empty space, the z component of the magnetic field is changing with time. If we sum for a set of tiny steps around a closed loop in the xy plane, we will get a nonzero result.
