Abstract

In this short paper, it is shown that Lorenz gauge condition leads to disappearance of long-range longitudinal electric wave emitted by an arbitrary electrical system. In any other gauge, longitudinal electric wave would be non-negligible. Implications of the obtained results are discussed.
