Functions for a point charge q′

The electric scalar potential φ at (r,t) due to a point charge q′ at (r′,t′) is:

φ(r,r′)=q′4π ϵ0constant1|r−r′|proximity

The magnetic vector potential A at (r,t) due to a point charge q′ which had a velocity ∂r′∂t at (r′,t′) is:

A(r,r′)=φ(r,r′)1c2constant∂r′∂tdislocation

A(r,r′)=μ0 q′4πconstant1|r−r′|proximity∂r′∂tdislocation

Functions for an ordered pair of point charges (q,q′)

A charge q subject to an electric scalar potential φ at (r,t) due to a point charge q′ at (r′,t′) has an electric potential energy of:

qφ(r,r′)=qq′4π ϵ0constant1|r−r′|proximity

A charge q subject to a magnetic vector potential A at (r,t) due to a point charge q′ which had a velocity ∂r′∂t at (r′,t′) has a potential momentum of:

qA(r,r′)=φ(r,r′)qc2constant∂r′∂tdislocation
qA(r,r′)=μ0 qq′4πconstant1|r−r′|proximity∂r′∂tdislocation

Lorentz Force for (q,q′)

The Lorentz Force between charges (q,q′) can be derived from the scalar potential φ and the vector potential A.

A charge q which has a velocity of v at (r,t) will experience a Lorentz force due to a point charge q′ at (r′,t′) of:

F=q[E+v×B]

The electric field E is:

E=−∇φ−∂A∂t

The magnetic field B is:

B=∇×A

The Lorentz Force can be expressed directly in terms of the potentials:

F=q[−∇φ−∂A∂t+v×(∇×A)]

Where:

  • −∇φ = negative the gradient of the scalar potential φ.
  • −∂A∂t = negative the partial derivative of the magnetic vector potential A with respect to time t.
  • v×(∇×A) = the cross product of the velocity v of the charge q and the curl of the magnetic vector potential ∇×A=B due to charge q′.

To restate from a previous section, the magnetic vector potential of a charge q experienced by a charge q is:

A(r,r′)=μ0 q′4πconstant1|r−r′|proximity∂r′∂tdislocation

Using the product rule, the partial derivative of this with respect to time t can be found. For example, the derivative of a product of two variables x and y with respect to time t is:

ddt(xy)=dxdty+xdydt.

Therefore, the partial derivative of the magnetic vector potential at r due to q′ with respect to time t is:

∂A(r,r′)∂t=μ0 q′4πconstant[∂[1|r−r′|]∂tproximity∂r′∂tdislocation+1|r−r′|proximity∂[∂r′∂t]∂tdislocation]
∂A(r,r′)∂t=μ0 q′4πconstant[∂[1|r−r′|]∂tproximity∂r′∂tdislocation+1|r−r′|proximity∂2r′∂t2dislocation]

∂[1|r−r′|]∂t
The partial derivative, with respect to time t, of the proximity of the position r of q at time t to the position r′ of q′ at the retarded time t′. 		∂r′∂t
According to an observer at time t: the velocity a charge q′ had at the retarded time t′=t−|r−r′|/c, when it emitted a light signal which has now reached q at position r and time t
