I would be pretty sure there is a duplicate here. | |

| Oct 4, 2018 at 17:07 | comment | added | Hal Hollis | As written, you question might be considered too broad. In fact, it's not quite clear what your specific question is. | |
| Oct 4, 2018 at 17:00 | comment | added | PhysicsMathsLove | @HalHollis I read: "Choosing a specific gauge (gauge fixing) can make solving a physical problem much easier than it would be if you did not fix a gauge. Normally one chooses the Coulomb gauge." I am not interested in how it simplifies the problem, can someone provide some illustration of this? A comment on the last part of my question is also appreciated. | |
