Just use the formulas!

Let $\nabla = \tfrac{\partial}{\partial x}\bold{i} + \tfrac{\partial}{\partial y}\bold{j} + \tfrac{\partial }{\partial z}\bold{k}$ .

Then, $\text{div} (\bold{F}) = \nabla \cdot \bold{F}$ and $\text{curl}(\bold{F}) = \nabla \times \bold{F}$ .

It is conservative if it a fan of Pat Robertson, just joking, it is conservative if the curl is the vector zero.
