Pardoxical property of electromagnetic radiation from accelerating charges

The total power radiated from an accelerating charge depends on the magnitude of it's acceleration, and is proportional to the square of the accelaration. But there is a certain problem with the defin …

Why does the magnitude of magnetic force which one moving charge exerts on another charge ap...

According to a basic fact of electromagnetism, electric currents are the source of magnetic fields, and a single moving charge can be viewed as a current. … i view it as a serious bug in my fundamental understanding of electromagnetism, and i will be extremely thankful if someone will complete for me the picture of charge-charge electromagnetic interaction …

Confusion over the electric field produced by an infinite, neutral, and current-carrying wire

I have a lot of trouble in attempting to understand several aspects of the relativistic explanation of the magnetic field produced by electric currents. To be more specific, my problem is not in the c …

What is the fundamental explanation for electromagnetic induction from the relativistic poin...

In an electromagnetism course I studied recently, the lecturer gave a relativistic argument for the correctness of the rule $ \vec{\nabla} \times \vec{E} = - \frac{ \partial\vec{B}}{\partial t}$, which …

Relativistic time dilation and the biological process of aging

Although I understand many of the "thought experiments" which demonstrate how simple clocks slow down (when moving) as result of the constancy of light speed postulate, I find it hard to understand ho …
