The Fields of a Charged Particle in Hyperbolic Motion
arXiv:1405.7729 · doi:10.1119/1.4875195
Abstract
A particle in hyperbolic motion produces electric fields that appear to terminate in mid-air, violating Gauss's law. The resolution to this paradox has been known for sixty years, but exactly why the naive approach fails is not so clear.
