Question:

(a) Calculate Fμν = ∂μAν − ∂νAμ from the Li´enard-Wiechert potential Aμ. Express the result in terms of Rμ, the four-velocity Uμ, and the four-acceleration ∂Uμ/∂τ . It will be useful to evaluate ∂μ(RσRσ) in order to show that ∂μτ = Rμ/(RσUσ).
(b) Show that the splitting of Fμν into a velocity part and an acceleration part is relativistically invariant.
(c) Find E and B when v = 0 (but v̇ ≠ 0) by evaluating appropriate components of Fμν in the rest frame of the charge.
