Functions Composed of Physical Expressions

Electric scalar potential $\mathbf{\varphi}$

$\mathbf{\varphi}$ of a point charge $q$:

$\mathbf{\varphi}\left(\mathbf r,r'\right) = \underset{constant}{\frac{q}{4\pi\ \epsilon_0}} \times \underset{proximity}{\frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|}}$

Magnetic vector potential $A$

$\mathbf{A}$ of a moving point charge $q$:

$\mathbf{A}\left(\mathbf(r,r')\right) = \underset{constant}{\frac{\mu_0\ q}{4\pi}} \times \underset{proximity}{\frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|}} \times \underset{dislocation}{\mathbf{v}}$
