Retarded time Lienard Wiechert potential

In a potential which needs to be evaluated at the retarded time, is this the time which represents the actual time the "physics" occurred? So $t_{\text{ret}}=t-\frac{r}{c}$, not just because it may be ...

Mathematical equivalence between Liénard-Wiechert potential and 4-potential in Rindler coordinates

I'm studying the problem of the radiation of an uniformly accelerated point charge: $$x^{\mu}(\lambda)\to(g^{-1}\sinh g\lambda,0,0,g^{-1}\cosh g\lambda)$$ I found that when a point charge is moving ...

Electromagnetic inertia due to advanced radiation?

The scalar potential $\phi$ and vector potential $A$ at a distance $r$ from a charge $q$ are given approximately by $$\phi = \frac{q}{r}$$ $$\mathbf{A} = \frac{q\mathbf v}{r}$$ where the constants ...
