There is a use for curl - Faraday's Law!
Faraday's Law in integral form is the following:
∮C→E∘d→l=−ddt∫S→B∘ˆndA
It states that the circulation of an electric field →E around a closed path C is equal to the negative time derivative of the flux of the magnetic field through the surface S bounded by C.
In other words, changing magnetic flux induce electric fields which form closed loops.
