Abstract

The vector decomposition theorem of Helmholtz leads to a form of the Coulomb gauge in which the potentials are expressed in a form that is totally instantaneous. The scalar potential is expressed in terms of the instantaneous charge density, the vector potential in terms of the instantaneous magnetic field.
