Nonuniqueness
The vector potential admitted by a solenoidal field is not unique. If A is a vector potential for v, then so is
where m is any continuously differentiable scalar function. This follows from the fact that the curl of the gradient is zero.
This nonuniqueness leads to a degree of freedom in the formulation of electrodynamics, or gauge freedom, and requires choosing a gauge.
