It is worthwhile to note that the Clebsch form of <math> \mathbf{B} </math> corresponds to a [[:Wikipedia: Magnetic potential|magnetic vector potential]]
<math> \mathbf{A} = \nu\nabla\psi </math> (or <math> \mathbf{A} = \psi\nabla\nu </math> as they differ only by the Gauge transformation <math> \mathbf{A} \to \mathbf{A} - \nabla (\psi\nu)).
