Summary
Feynman explains the vector potential in magnetostatics, comparing its utility and physical meaning to scalar potential and magnetic field. He then shows how the vector potential becomes physically significant in quantum mechanics through phase shifts and the Aharonov-Bohm effect, while also previewing the transition to electrodynamics.
