Hello, PFI'm studying electromagnetism, delayed potentials, and I've been wondering about a few things.
My understanding of the delayed potential is that the information from a moving charged particle at a given time travels through space at the speed of light to reach the observation point, so what is actually observed is the potential that deviates from the true position of the charged particle.
My question is: Is it possible for information about a charged particle to be observed from more than one position at the same time? In other words, is the particle's location information indeterminate?Thank you, have a good day.
