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…

It is shown that formulas for the radiative power loss and radiation reaction from a charge can be derived in a heuristic manner from the kinetic power (rate of change of the kinetic energy) of its electric inertial mass. The derivation…
It is shown, that the force acting on a radiating charge is stipulated by two reasons - owing to exchange of a momentum between radiating charge and electromagnetic field of radiation, and also between a charge and field accompanying the…
We extend our previous work (see arXiv:quant-ph/0501026), which compared the predictions of quantum electrodynamics concerning radiation reaction with those of the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac theory for a charged particle in linear motion.…
We show that the Lorentz-Dirac equation is not an unavoidable consequence of energy-momentum conservation for a point charge. What follows solely from conservation laws is a less restrictive equation already obtained by Honig and Szamosi.…
