What flexibility do we have in defining the vector potential given the Coulomb gauge ($\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} = 0$)? That is, what can $\mathbf{A}'$ be that gives us the same $\mathbf{B}$? 1. $\mathbf{A}' = \mathbf{A} + C$ 2. $\mathbf{A}' = \mathbf{A} + \mathbf{C}$ 3. $\mathbf{A}' = \mathbf{A} + \nabla C$ 4. $\mathbf{A}' = \mathbf{A} + \nabla \cdot \mathbf{C}$ 5. Something else? Note: * Correct answer: C
