potentsiaalväljade
Potentsiaalväljad, commonly translated as potential fields, are a fundamental concept in physics and mathematics. They describe a scalar field whose gradient is equal to a given vector field. In simpler terms, a potential field assigns a scalar value (a number) to every point in space, and the direction and magnitude of the force experienced by a particle at that point are determined by how this scalar value changes across space.
The utility of potential fields lies in simplifying the description of conservative forces. Conservative forces are
Potential fields are crucial in various branches of physics, including classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics.
