Nov 9, 2014 at 17:37 comment added Nikos M. @AlfredCentauri, yes it is an overloading of notation (where $Q$ means charge density), fixing that!
Nov 9, 2014 at 17:35 comment added Alfred Centauri Nikos, yes $\vec j$ is current density which is why I'm puzzled. Current density is in ampere's per square meter but $q\vec v$ has unit ampere meter. I suspect you meant to write something like $\vec j = \rho(\mathbf r) \vec v$ where the charge density is a delta function for a point charge.

Nov 9, 2014 at 17:28 comment added Nikos M. @AlfredCentauri, for example take a look at this lecture, eq for B under current density and equation for B under Magnetic Field of a Moving Charge (current density is $\vec{j}=q\vec{v}$) it is current density actually (that is why slightly differnt symbol)
Nov 9, 2014 at 17:25 comment added Nikos M. @AlfredCentauri, yes it is not exact actually (i'll have to look it up, dont remember exact form), but the equation states how a current is generated (or equivalent) to a moving charge

Less ugly.
Nov 9, 2014 at 17:17 comment added Alfred Centauri Nikos, your first equation is puzzling to me.
