VectorPotential

  

compute the vector potential of a vector field in R^3

Examples

Calling Sequence

VectorPotential(v)

Parameters

v

-

vector field or Vector-valued procedure; specify the components of the vector field in R^3

Description

• 

The VectorPotential(v) calling sequence computes the vector potential of the vector field v.  The result is a vector field F such that CurlF=v (that is, the curl of F is the field v).  If a vector potential does not exist, NULL is returned.

• 

If v is a vector field, a vector field is returned.  If v is a procedure, a procedure is returned.
