Signals induced on electrodes by moving charges, a general theorem for Maxwell's equations based on Lorentz-reciprocity

We discuss a signal theorem for charged particle detectors where the finite propagation time of the electromagnetic waves produced by a moving charge cannot be neglected. While the original Ramo-Shockley theorem and related extensions are all based on electrostatic or quasi-electrostatic approximations, the theorem presented in this report is based on the full extent of Maxwell's equations and does account for all electrodynamic effects. It is therefore applicable to all devices that detect fields and radiation from charged particles.
