Vector potential

In vector calculus, a vector potential is a vector field whose curl is a given vector field. This is analogous to a scalar potential, which is a scalar field whose gradient is a given vector field. Formally, given a vector field v, a vector potential is a vector field A such that (Wikipedia).

11_7_1 Potential Function of a Vector Field Part 1

The gradient of a function is a vector. n-Dimensional space can be filled up with countless vectors as values as inserted into a gradient function. This is then referred to as a vector field. Some vector fields have potential functions. In this video we start to look at how to calculat

11_7_3 Potential Function of a Vector Field Part 3

In this video I calculate the potential function of a vector field. This problem is more complicated as the integral of the differential of the partial derivative contains the function g, which is a function of both y and z.
