Conception of the scalar-vector potential in contemporary electrodynamics

The present paper is devoted to consideration and discussion of a number of contradictions that take place in fundamental electrodynamics researches. A concept of the scalar-vector potential is introduced that allows us to avoid a number of challenges taking place in treatment of forces of elecrtromagnetic interaction. It is introduced the delayed scalar-vector potential allowing one to solve radiation problems at an elementary level. It is shown that in a nonmagnetized plasma, beside the earlier known longitudinal Langmuir resonance, there may exist a resonance transversal relative to the wave propagation direction. It is also shown that the dielectric and magnetic permittivities are independent on the frequency. It is introduced a concept of the kinetic capacitance.
