Electrodynamic Image Problem of a Moving Charge and a Conducting Sphere Using Conformal Transformations

ORAL

Abstract

The problem of the radiation emitted by a charge approaching a conducting sphere is transformed into a dynamic image problem. The solution is henceforth found using conformal transformations in the Clifford algebra formalism. The pivotal point is the concept of the inverse of a vector illustrated first with the static spherical image textbook problem.
