electrostatic potential

electrostatic potential

An electrostatic field is produced by static charge distributions. The electrostatic potential is the potential of the electric field, which is produced by charge distributions. Or the electric field is given by the space derivative of the electrostatic potential. The Fourier transform of the electrostatic potential that is created by the nucleus and orbital electrons of an atom gives the atom form factor.
