Dmitriyev View a PDF of the paper titled The easiest way to Heaviside ellipsoid, by Valery P. Dmitriyev View PDF Abstract: The formula for the electric field of a point charge moving with constant velocity is derived using the symmetry properties of Maxwell's equations - its Lorentz invariance. In contrast to conventional treatments, the derivation presented does not use retarded integrals or relativity transformations.
