electromagnetism - Field of moving charge / Lorentz; Liénard-Wiechert


First question here. I'm really confused at the moment. An electron moves at constant velocity, no acceleration


Wikipedia says here Lorentz: E=q4πϵ01v2/c21v2sinθ/c2ˆrr2,

which yields something like this:


enter image description here




Whereas here, Wikipedia says this and this, EyEx=EyEx1v2/c2=yx,

which yields something like this:



enter image description here


Which one is correct? If you could explain me exactly the reason why one of them is correct, I give you a big imaginary hug.


Last question: In none of those fields is there any radiated energy, since there is no acceleration, correct?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
