Potentials and Gauge Symmetry in Electromagnetism

Finally wrapping up our dive into the different representations of Maxwell’s equations, we arrive at the vector potential forms. Unlike the other forms we’ve covered in past posts, there’s no perfect bottom-up derivation or stunning solution to a problem we can use to explain— nor how they rose from the backwaters of classical electromagnetism to […]
