Lamor's equation?

[vitality00]

What are the limitations of lamor's equation for finding the power emitted from a charge

 

 

formula --> P = (2/3) * (q^2 * a^2/c^3)

 

q = charge

a = acceleration

c = speed of lightt

 

 

I was also told that lamor's equation must be "transformed" in order to find the amount of power emitted from a charge moving close the speed of light (something about relativity) - so how does one "transform" this equation for relativity

 

The information i got was from this link, it is pretty simply to understand
