#h-a #TODO


DEFINITION

ElectroMagnetism is already Lorentz-Invariant ⇒ No change in Special Relativity!
Just need to update notation to Tensor; check:

Name Symbol Main Change Formula
Charge q
Charge Density ρ Consider Length Contraction $$\rho=\gamma(u)\cdot\rho_0$$
Current Density j Consider Charge Density $$j^\mu=\rho_0\cdot u^\mu=\begin{bmatrix} \rho\cdot c& \vec{j}\end{bmatrix}$$
Charge Conservation Law Consider Current Density $$\partial_\mu\cdot j^\mu=0$$
Maxwell Equations ConsiderCurrent Density & ElectroMagnetic Tensor
Gauge Transformation $$\tilde{A}^\mu=A^\mu-\partial_{x^\mu} q$$
Lorentz-Gauge Transformation $$\partial_{x_\mu}A^\mu=0$$
