In particle and atomic physics, a Yukawa potential (also called a screened Coulomb potential) is a potential of the form
:V_\text{Yukawa}(r)= -g^2\frac{e^{-kmr}}{r},
where g is a magnitude scaling constant, i.e. is the amplitude of potential, m is the mass of the affected particle, r is the radial distance to the particle, and k is another scaling constant, which finally the product of km is the inverse scope. The potential is monotone increasing, implying that the force is always attractive.
The Coulomb potential of electromagnetism is an example of a Yukawa potential with e−kmr ...
