I am currently studying the motion of relativistic charged particles in electromagnetic fields. More exactly, we first derived the equation of motion in the 4-vector formalism.
I was a bit confused when my teacher talked about acceleration in special relativity. In which cases are we allowed to talk about it specifically in special relativity? (I mean that I have not studied general relativity yet) What stay constant ? Or are we making an approximation?
It may of course have a sense, though I have the feeling that in my courses, we only talked about constant speeds in special relativity.
I hope my question has a sense,
Isaac
