Electrostatic Potential and Irrotational E

D-285 Home PU-305 Threads fields · energy Depends on Gauss's Law from Coulomb's Law

Statement

curl-E = 0 for static fields is shown, permitting E = -grad(phi) and reducing electrostatics to the Poisson equation with a uniqueness theorem for boundary data.

Depends on

Gauss's Law from Coulomb's Law
