Showing papers by "Hermann Bondi published in 1981"
TL;DR: In this article, the classical problem of the field due to a uniformly accelerated charge is studied through applying a limiting process to a special case of acceleration recently discussed by Das (1980), and the crucial nature of the choice of the root of the quartic for the retarded time is illuminated, and the Bondi-Gold solution is derived by this physically significant approach.
Abstract: The classical problem of the field due to a uniformly accelerated charge is studied through applying a limiting process to a special case of acceleration recently discussed by Das (1980). The crucial nature of the choice of the root of the quartic for the retarded time is illuminated, and the Bondi–Gold solution (1955) is derived by this physically significant approach.
