The Lorentz Force can be expressed directly in terms of the potentials:
Where:
- = negative the gradient of the scalar potential .
- = negative the partial derivative of the magnetic vector potential with respect to time .
- = the cross product of the velocity of the charge and the curl of the magnetic vector potential due to charge .
To restate from a previous section, the magnetic vector potential of a charge experienced by a charge is:
