Electrodynamics of hyperbolically accelerated charges I. The electromagnetic field of a charged particle with hyperbolic motion

摘要

The electromagnetic field of a charged particle with hyperbolic motion is described. The field of a particle with eternal hyperbolic motion is found by taking the limit of a situation with limited hyperbolic motion. The flow of energy in the electromagnetic field is discussed. The question whether the charged particle emits radiation is briefly touched upon in this first article in a series on the electrodynamics of radiating particles and their fields.
