Difference between Field (physics) and Retarded potential

Field (physics) vs. Retarded potential

In physics, a field is a physical quantity, represented by a number or tensor, that has a value for each point in space and time. In electrodynamics, the retarded potentials are the electromagnetic potentials for the electromagnetic field generated by time-varying electric current or charge distributions in the past.

Similarities between Field (physics) and Retarded potential

Field (physics) and Retarded potential have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Classical electromagnetism, Electric current, Electromagnetic field, Gauge fixing, Lorenz gauge condition, Magnetic potential, Speed of light.

Classical electromagnetism

Classical electromagnetism or classical electrodynamics is a branch of theoretical physics that studies the interactions between electric charges and currents using an extension of the classical Newtonian model.

Lorenz gauge condition

In electromagnetism, the Lorenz gauge condition or Lorenz gauge is a partial gauge fixing of the electromagnetic vector potential.

Magnetic potential

The term magnetic potential can be used for either of two quantities in classical electromagnetism: the magnetic vector potential, or simply vector potential, A; and the magnetic scalar potential ψ. Both quantities can be used in certain circumstances to calculate the magnetic field B. The more frequently used magnetic vector potential is defined so that its curl is equal to the magnetic field: curl A.
