For a gauge transformation of the scalar potential, this operation on the gauge function multiplied by negative one over c is added to the old scalar potential.
For a gauge transformation of the scalar potential, this operation on the gauge function multiplied by negative one over c is added to the old scalar potential. Hamilton's equations set this operation on the generalized coordinates equal to a function of the Hamiltonian. This operation is symbolized by putting a single dot over a function. The curl of the electric field is equal to the negative of this operation of the magnetic field according to Faraday's Law. Taking this operation on momentum gives (*) force. This operation takes velocity to acceleration and position to velocity. For 10 points, name this operation which finds the instantaneous rate of change of a physical quantity.
For a gauge transformation of the scalar potential, this operation on the gauge function multiplied by negative one over c is added to the old scalar potential.
