My goal is to explore this overarching equation and the ideas directly preceding it, including the Li\u00e9nard-Wiechert Potentials, Jefimenko&#8217;s Equations, and retarded time. In order to deal with the five dimensional nature of these equations I will make heavy use of Mathematica&#8217;s plotting and manipulation functions. My hope is to generate a number of graphical representations of these functions, some with simplifying assumptions made, and thereby expose their physical significance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electrodynamics is concerned with answering a simple question: what is the force exerted on a test charge Q by some arbitrary configuration of charge?
