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) command computes a vector potential of the vector field v.  The result is a vector field F such that CurlF=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.
