hello, I've just gone through a derivation using the vector potential A, and using the equation derived (a wave equation) which arises from using the lorentz gauge, it is applied to the problem of a current sheet in the xy plane, located at z=0 with current in the x direction only. the current varies with time so we are looking for wave solutions propagating in the + and - z directions.
Ive attached the relevant page (its not long at all), and basically my problem is simply: i understand pretty much everything up until equation 6.46, however, i cannot for the life of me understand how he gets to 6.47.
i know its probably something really simple, probably like a nifty application of the chain rule, but Id appreciate if someone could point out the elephant to me because i really can't see it and its annoying the hell out of me.
cheers
(im sure the answer will make me feel like an Rtard)
