The Lorentz Current Density #

i. Overview #

In this module we define the Lorentz current density and its decomposition into charge density and current density. The Lorentz current density is often called the four-current and given then the symbol J.

The current density is given in terms of the charge density ρ and the current density \vec j as J = (c ρ, \vec j).
