Conclusions
Although divergence of electric field div(E) is zero everywhere (charge density is zero), scalar potential is urgently needed to describe radiation of electric dipole. To express time derivative a' is required vector potential A. At long distances, there is no question of lagging potentials of forcibly oscillating system, waves must propagate "by themselves" in wave zone. It begs the conclusion that potentials are objective physical reality, fundamental fields in vacuum, and are not mathematical abstractions. To describe dipole radiation, three fundamental fields are sufficient:
a' = - c2 · div A
A' = - E - grad a
E' = c2 · rot rot A
At the same time, Laplacian div grad (a) is fundamentally different from local charge density ε0 · div E, these are different quantities. Laplacian of scalar potential can be locally not zero in electric dipole radiation, unlike divergence of electric field. Formally, both of these quantities are "conserved", since it is possible to express derivatives in time as minus divergence of some known "flow" or current. But with respect to electric dipole, laplasian of scalar potential is preserved only globally, when positive density is emitted in one direction along z-axis, in opposite direction the same modulo negative goes. It cannot be said that scalar potential has significant value only in near zone of forced generation and lagging potentials. In far wave zone, its intensity, like time derivative, decreases proportionally to 1 / r along z-axis, the same applies to its gradient in some directions (ρ · z / r3).
Electric and magnetic field decrease on average with distance as 1 / r, respectively, energy density decreases as 1 / r2. That is, integral of energy density throughout space is infinite, and elementary dipoles cannot be used as basis for representing field objects with finite energy. The more time emitter works, more energy it loses with waves, without restrictions on final value.
