Term: magnetic vector potential
Synonym1:
Synonym2:
Synonym3:
Symbol: A
Definition: vector potential of the magnetic flux density

NOTE 1 – The rotation of the magnetic vector potential A is the magnetic flux density B:

rotA = B

NOTE 2 – The magnetic vector potential is not unique since any irrotational vector field quantity can be added to a given magnetic vector potential without changing its rotation. Under static conditions the magnetic vector potential is often chosen so that its divergence is zero.
