VectorPotential
compute the vector potential of a vector field in R^3

Description
Examples
VectorPotential(v)
v
-
vector field or Vector-valued procedure; specify the components of the vector field in R^3
The VectorPotential(v) calling sequence computes the vector potential of the vector field v. The result is a vector field F such that CurlF=v (that is, the curl of F is the field v). If a vector potential does not exist, NULL is returned.
If v is a vector field, a vector field is returned. If v is a procedure, a procedure is returned.
