Yes. You can combine charge density and current to form a 4-vector in SR like (charge density, current vector). Other 4-vectors are (energy, momentum vector). T

Yes.
You can combine charge density and current to form a 4-vector in SR like (charge density, current vector). Other 4-vectors are (energy, momentum vector). There are also a bunch of others, the most famous/basic one being (time, position vector):

The reason it's a good idea to group these into 4-vectors is that the components of the vectors transform into each other under coordinate transformations in SR (see Lorentz-transformation).
