Abstract
We show that a charged sphere moving at a constant velocity exhibits a mass due to electromagnetic radiation, expressed as , where is the electromagnetic energy and the speed of light in vacuum. Our finding reconciles the longstanding mismatch between the electromagnetic mass calculated from the classical electrodynamics' and the relativistic theory.
