In a constant magnetic field B where an extended charge is moving in a circle say, all the parts are accelerated equally by the B field since they're moving at the same velocity. As a result, this will require internal forces of constraint created in

Is there a standard name for these coordinates or coordinate transformations?
Thanks in advance,

Embarrassingly obvious: just boost to the proper frame of the extended charge where it's accelerated by an electric field E = gamma vxB that rotates at angular velocity omega.
Locally that would be correct.
For a solution in full space it might perhaps look like a black
hole with charge: (with EM fields in the Kerr-Newman metric)

(Or maybe you have to modify it even beyond that..)
