Electric charge in hyperbolic motion: the special conformal transformation solution
arXiv:1905.12426 · doi:10.1088/1361-6404/ab3df6
Abstract
As a simple application of special conformal transformations, we derive the electromagnetic field produced by an electric charge in hyperbolic motion. Unlike other purely algebraic derivations, here we develop a more intuitive geometrical description, based on Minkowski diagrams.
