| Popis: | As a simple application of special conformal transformations, we derive the electromagnetic field produced by an electric charge in hyperbolic motion. Unlike other purely algebraic derivations, here we develop a more intuitive geometrical description, based on Minkowski diagrams. 14 pages, 2 figures |
