Comments on ''What the Vector Potential Measures'' by E. J. Konopinski

Abstract

The seminal paper on the meaning of the vector potential by E. J. Konopinski is revisited. The significance of this work has not been generally recognized to date. We first briefly review Konopinski?s findings and show that many of his key results can be obtained from a simpler and more familiar approach. We then discuss the additional implications of his analyses, which were overlooked by Konopinski himself.
