About the Simultaneous Co-Existence of Instantaneous and Retarded Interactions in Classical Electrodynamics

Abstract

In this paper it is proved that, contrary to the results found by A.E. Chubykalo and S.J. Vlaev (Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 14, 3789 (1999)), the retarded electric and magnetic fields for an uniformly accelerated charge exactly satisfy Maxwell equations (ME). Furthermore it is shown that ME are correctly written in the usual form with the partial derivatives and thus not, as proposed by Chubykalo and Vlaev, with the total derivatives.
