Effective potential
text:
The effective potential combines multiple, perhaps opposing, effects into a single potential. In its basic form, it is the sum of the 'opposing' centrifugal potential energy with the potential energy of a dynamical system. It may be used to determine the orbits of planets and to perform semi-classical atomic calculations, and often allows problems to be reduced to fewer dimensions.
