Electromagnetic velocity fields near a conducting slab.
A calculational scheme for the electromagnetic fields of a charge moving at constant velocity parallel to a flat conducting slab is developed. The results can be evaluated for arbitrary speed of the charge. Comparisons are made with earlier work that was mostly limited to a low-speed approximation. Both analytic insights and numerical illustrations of the theory are given.
