Four-force/4-current

Given that an observer both moving with and local to a bit of charge finds it to have a charge density of $\rho _{0q}$ , the product of this scalar quantity with its 4-velocity according to a given frame will constitute a four-vector known as the 4-current given by

$j^{\mu }=\rho _{0q}U^{\mu }$
