Magnetic field of a moving charged particle
This paper presents the results of studying the magnetic field distribution of a charged particle, which moves along freely with constant speed. The motion of such a charged particle is shown to be accompanied with changes in the vector of electric displacement field. This leads to the appearance of an area with a complex structured magnetic field, rigidly attached to the particle. This area is moving along with the particle. The superposition of magnetic fields of moving particles is described by the «current density» term from the first of Maxwell’s equations.
