theorem

E=ϕtA\mathbf{E} = -\nabla \phi - \partial_t \mathbf{A}

#electricField_eq_3D

The electric field E\mathbf{E} is expressed in terms of the scalar potential ϕ\phi and the vector potential A\mathbf{A} as E(t,x)=ϕ(t,x)tA(t,x)\mathbf{E}(t, \mathbf{x}) = -\nabla \phi(t, \mathbf{x}) - \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \mathbf{A}(t, \mathbf{x}), where \nabla denotes the spatial gradient and t\frac{\partial}{\partial t} denotes the partial derivative with respect to time tt.

theorem

B=×A\mathbf{B} = \nabla \times \mathbf{A}

#magneticField_eq_3D

In three-dimensional electromagnetism, the magnetic field B\mathbf{B} at time tt and position x\mathbf{x} is defined as the curl of the vector potential A(t,x)\mathbf{A}(t, \mathbf{x}). That is, B(t,x)=×A(t,x)\mathbf{B}(t, \mathbf{x}) = \nabla \times \mathbf{A}(t, \mathbf{x}).
