Eliminating Infinite Self-Energies From Classical Electrodynamics
Andrew T. Hyman
The theory of point-particles in classical electrodynamics has a well-known problem of infinite self-energy, and the same is true of quantum electrodynamics. Instead of concluding…

Potentials of a Classical Point-Charge Moving at the Speed of Light
Andrew T. Hyman
Retarded potentials of a point-charge are considered, and new ones presented, including potentials of a point-charge moving at the speed of light. The Lienard-Wiechert potential (t…

Non-Uniqueness of the Lienard-Wiechert Potential
Andrew T. Hyman
The Lienard-Wiechert potential is one of the central equations of classical electrodynamics. Among its properties are these: it satisfies the (linear) homogeneous wave equation and…
