On vector potential of the Coulomb gauge

Abstract

The question of an instantaneous action (A M Stewart 2003 Eur. J. Phys. 24, 519) can be approached in a systematic way applying the Helmhotz vector decomposition theorem to a two-parameter Lorenz-like gauge. We thus show that only the scalar potential may act instantaneously.
