Abstract

It has been stated that there is no radiation from a charge moving in the relativistic equivalent of uniform acceleration. This proves to be not the case when means of measuring the radiation are used which are suitable to the infinite extent of the path.The fields for a uniformly accelerated charge as deduced by conformal transformation from rest are found to correspond to one-half the sum of advanced and retarded potentials for two charges.
