Resumen
In this work we substantiate the applying of the Helmholtz vector decomposition
theorem (H-theorem) to vector fields in classical electrodynamics.
Using the H-theorem, within the framework of the twoparameter
Lorentz-like gauge (so called v-gauge), we show that two
kinds of magnetic vector potentials exist: one of them (solenoidal) can
act exclusively with the velocity of light c and the other one (irrotational)
with an arbitrary finite velocity v (including a velocity more
than c) . We show also that the irrotational component of the electric
field has a physical meaning and can propagate exclusively instantaneously.
