electromagnetic potential

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
electromagnetic potential [i¦lek·trō·mag′ned·ik pə′ten·chəl]
(electromagnetism)
Collective name for a scalar potential, which reduces to the electrostatic potential in a time-independent system, and the vector potential for the magnetic field; the electric and magnetic fields can be written in terms of these potentials.

However, the role of the electromagnetic potential in the canonical momentum deserves some further comments.
For example, in the case of the electromagnetic interaction, the quantum-mechanical description of experiments on charged particles is invariant under local phase transformations on the particle wavefunction, if one introduces a long-range field coupled to the charge-the electromagnetic field-and one makes simultaneously a suitable local gauge transformation on the electromagnetic potential.
