This lecture covers the concept of Liénard-Wiechert potentials in electromagnetism, focusing on electromagnetic energy, electrostatic potential energy, and energy density calculations. The instructor explains the derivation of the potentials and their applications, emphasizing charge conservation and the consistency check. The lecture also discusses retarded potentials and their relationship with electromagnetic fields, highlighting the importance of understanding the time-dependent behavior of the potentials.
