In previous papers,1 we have obtained, for a special case, the transformation coefficients connecting two systems in relative acceleration and have shown that the transformation is the only possible one that gives electromagnetic fields the observed values and is integrable. In the present paper, we will give the general co-ordinate transformation connecting two systems in arbitrary motion and its application to obtain the general electromagnetic fields due to a charged particle in arbitrary motion.
