Abstract
One hundred and thirty years ago Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925) first published the exact expression of the electromagnetic field generated by a uniformly moving electric charge. A didactical route to establish such an important result is here proposed via a new treatment of the Feynman formula for the electric field intensity of a moving charge, when the charge moves uniformly. We believe the present approach could be a useful starting point for introducing as gently as possible a complex analysis of electrodynamics even to undergraduates not yet familiar with Maxwell’s equations and Lorentz transformation.
