Category:Newtonian Potentials

This category contains results about Newtonian Potentials.

Let $R$ be a region of space.

Let $S$ be a scalar field over $R$ such that:

$\forall \mathbf r \in R: \map S {\mathbf r} = \dfrac k r$

where:

$\mathbf r $ is the position vector of an arbitrary point in $R$ with respect to the origin

$r = \norm {\mathbf r}$ is the magnitude of $\mathbf r$

$k$ is some predetermined constant.

Then $S$ is known as a Newtonian potential.
