A point charge accelerating under the influence of an external force emits electromagnetic radiation that reduces the increase in its mechanical energy. This causes a reduction in the particle's acceleration. We derive the decrease in…
The interaction of electrically charged particles in a dilute gas of point--like magnetic dipoles is studied. We show that the interaction potential at small distances has a linear piece due to overlap of the dipole clouds gathered near…

We analyze the dynamics between 1/$\lambda$-fractional statistics particles (anyons) in an exact three-body solution of the Sutherland Hamiltonian. We show that anyons interact by means of a short-range attraction. The interaction dictates…
