Abstract

A theoretical description and comparison of causal relations in the Lorentz and Coulomb gauges is presented with special emphasis upon retardation in the Coulomb gauge. It is shown that the transverse character of the current density in the Coulomb gauge compensates for the apparent instantaneous Coulomb interaction, which appears as a formal consequence of the subsidiary condition imposed upon the vector and scalar potentials.
