THE FIELD OF A STEP-LIKE ACCELERATED POINT CHARGE: LI\'ENARD-WIECHERT POTENTIALS AND ČERENKOV SHOCK WAVES REVISITED

Ľubomír Šumichrast

   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.

Keywords: scalar potential, vector potential
