The critical temperature T c of a weakly interacting Bose gas in an isotropic power-low potential is investigated in the mean-field approximation by taking into account the fact that the particle density distribution function appearing in the mean-field depends on the chemical potential. We derive the general formula of the shift of T c from that of the ideal gas to the lowest order of an interaction. In three-dimensional space, we show that the shift of T c changes its sign from a negative value for n < 3 to a positive one for n > 3, where n is the exponent of the power-low potential.
