The Field Of A Step-Like Accelerated Point Charge: Liénard-Wiechert Potentials And Čerenkov Shock Waves Revisited
Abstract
Scalar and vector potential as well as the electromagnetic field of a moving point charge is a nice example how the application of symbolic functions (distributions) in electromagnetics makes it easier to obtain and interpret solutions of otherwise hardly solvable problems.
