This lecture introduces the concept of potentials in electromagnetism, specifically the scalar potential V and the vector potential A, which simplify calculations and connect with previous knowledge in electricity. The lecture explains how to calculate these potentials from charge and current distributions, emphasizing the importance of using them to simplify engineering problems and computer simulations.
