Electromagnetic Potentials E = - f Scalar Potential f and Electrostatic Field E x E = -∂B/∂t Faraday’s Law x - f = 0 ≠ -∂B/∂t Substitute E = - f in Faraday’s law x E = x (- f - ∂A/∂t) = 0 - ∂( x A)/∂t = -∂B/∂t E = - f - ∂A/∂t Generalize to include Vector Potential A B= x. A Identify B in terms of Vector Potential E = - f - ∂A/∂t B= x. A
Electromagnetic Potentials (A, f) 4 -vector generates E, B 3 -vectors ((A, f) redundant by one degree) Suppose (A, f) and (A’, f’) generate the same E, B fields E = - f - ∂A/∂t = - f’ - ∂A’/∂t B = x A’ Let A’ = A + f x A’ = x (A + f) = x A + x f = x A What change must be made to f to generate the same E field? E = - f’ - ∂A’/∂t = - f’ - ∂ (A + f )/∂t = - f - ∂A/∂t A’ = A + f f’ = f - ∂f/∂t Gauge Transformation
