Liénard-Wiechert Results and Energy Density in Electrodynamics
Delve into the Liénard-Wiechert results and explore topics such as energy density and flux associated with electromagnetic fields. Understand the solutions of Maxwell's equations in the Lorentz gauge, focusing on the determination of scalar and vector potentials for moving point particles. Examine the fields produced by a point charge moving along a trajectory and unravel the complexities of potential functions in this context.
