Why does the electric field of an infinite line depend on the distance, but not on an infinite plane?

Why do we write $(v\cdot \nabla) v$ instead of $v \cdot (\nabla v)$ for $v_j \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j} v_i$ in the material derivative?

Is "The curl of the gradient of any scalar field is identically zero" contradictory to Faraday's Law?
