The Larmor formula can only be used for non-relativistic particles, which limits its usefulness. The Liénard-Wiechert potential is a more comprehensive formula that must be employed for particles travelling at relativistic speeds. In certain situations, more intricate calculations including numerical techniques or perturbation theory could be ...
Larmor precession is important in nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic resonance imaging, electron paramagnetic resonance, muon spin resonance, and neutron spin echo. It is also important for the alignment of cosmic dust grains, which is a cause of the polarization of starlight .
The Heaviside–Feynman formula can be derived from Maxwell's equations using the technique of the retarded potential. It allows, for example, the derivation of the Larmor formula for overall radiation power of the accelerating charge.
For calculations in accelerator and astroparticle physics, the formula for the cyclotron radius can be rearranged to give = (/) (/) (| | /) (/), where m denotes metres, c is the speed of light, GeV is the unit of Giga-electronVolts, is the elementary charge, and T is the unit of tesla.
According to the Larmor formula in classical electromagnetism, a single point charge under acceleration will emit electromagnetic radiation. In some classical electron models a distribution of charges can however be accelerated so that no radiation is emitted. [1]

The derivation given here was first published by J. J. Thomson (discoverer of the electron) in 1907. It is derived for the special case where the final velocity of the particle is zero but the Larmor formula is true for any sort of accelerated motion provided that the speed of the particle is always much less than the speed of light.
The following is a derivation of the formulas for accelerations as well as fictitious forces in a rotating frame. It begins with the relation between a particle's coordinates in a rotating frame and its coordinates in an inertial (stationary) frame.
