Transformation of Surface Charge Density in Mixed Number Lorentz Transformation

Abstract

We know that the electric charge of an isolated system is relativistically invariant. We have studied the transformation of surface charge density in Special, Most general, Mixed number Lorentz transformation. As the formula of length contraction is not the same in these types of Lorentz transformation, the transformation equation of surface charge density will be different in the above mentioned transformations.
