To show that the retarded scalar potential \(\phi(\vec{r},t)\) and the retarded vector potential \(\vec{A}(\vec{r},t)\) satisfy the Lorentz gauge condition, we need to verify that: \[ \nabla \cdot \vec{A} + \frac{1}{c^2} \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t} = 0 \] --- ### Step 1: Compute \( \nabla \cdot \vec{A} \) The retarded vector potential is given by: \[ \vec{A}(\vec{r},t) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \int \frac{\vec{j}(\vec{r}', t - \frac{|\vec{r} - \vec{r}'|}{c})}{|\vec{r} - \vec{r}'|} dV' \] Taking the divergence: \[ \nabla \cdot \vec{A} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \int \nabla \cdot \left( \frac{\vec{j}(\vec{r}', t - \frac{|\vec{r} - \vec{r}'|}{c})}{|\vec{r} ___ _____ ______ ___ ____ _______ ______ ___.
