Liénard–Wiechert potential
ID: lienard-wiechert-potential
The Liénard–Wiechert potential is a solution to the equations of electrodynamics that describes the electromagnetic field generated by a moving point charge. It is particularly important in the context of special relativity, as it incorporates the effects of the charge's motion, allowing for the calculation of electric and magnetic fields produced by a charged particle moving with arbitrary velocity.
