This lecture covers the relativistic motion of a charged particle in a constant electric field, including Lorentz covariant formulation of electrodynamics, Maxwell equations, EM radiation, and the relativistic Larmor power emitted by accelerated charged particles. The instructor explains the concepts using examples and discusses the non-relativistic limit. The lecture also delves into the Lorentz invariance and the use of 4-vectors in understanding the dynamics of charged particles.
