Abstract: We review two procedures for constructing the vector potential of the electromagnetic field on Kerr spacetime, namely, the classic method of Cohen & Kegeles, yielding $A^{m}u$ in a radiation gauge, and the newer method of Frolov et al., yielding $A^{m}u$ in Lorenz gauge. We demonstrate that the vector potentials are related by straightforward gauge transformations, which we give in closed form. We obtain a new result for a separable Hertz potential $H^{muu}$ such that $A_{extlor}^{m}u=abl{a}_u{H}^{muu}$.
