Time-dependent fields of a current-carrying wire
Abstract
The electric and magnetic fields of an infinite straight wire carrying a steady current which is turned on abruptly are determined using Jefimenko's equations, starting from the standard assumption that the wire is electrically neutral in its rest frame. Some nontrivial aspects of the solution are discussed in detail.
