The easiest way to Heaviside ellipsoid

Physics Education 2015-06-26 v2 Classical Physics

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.
