It is shown that the well-known disparity in classical electrodynamics between the power losses calculated from the radiation reaction and that from Larmor's formula, is succinctly understood when a proper distinction is made between…

It is shown that the familiar Larmor's formula or its relativistic generalization, Li\'enard's formula, widely believed to represent the instantaneous radiative losses from an accelerated charge, are not compatible with the special theory…

We address some questions related to radiation and energy conservation in classical electromagnetism. We first treat the well-known problem of energy accounting during radiation from a uniformly accelerating particle. We present the problem…

We review and compare two different approaches to radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics of point charges: a local calculation of the self-force using the charge equation of motion and a global calculation consisting in integration…

The power radiated by a moving charge is given by Larmor's formula which can be derived by integrating the Li\'enard-Wiechert potential over the whole past history of the charge. However, extracting the same result from the…

Doubts have been expressed in a comment (Eur. J. Phys., 39, 018001, 2018), about the tenability of the formulation for radiative losses in our recent published work (Eur. J. Phys., 37, 045210, 2016). We provide our reply to the comment. In…

The formula for dipole radiation reaction torque acting on a system of charges, and the Larmor-like formula for the angular momentum loss by this system, differ in the time derivative term which is the analogue of the Schott term in the…

It is shown that the well-known disparity in classical electrodynamics between the power radiated in electromagnetic fields and the power-loss, as calculated from the radiation reaction on a charge undergoing a non-uniform motion, is…

We examine here the discrepancy between the radiated power, calculated from the Poynting flux at infinity, and the power loss due to radiation reaction for an accelerated charge. It is emphasized that one needs to maintain a clear…

We discuss subtle points of the momentum balance for radiating particles in flat and curved space-time. An instantaneous balance is obscured by the presence of the Schott term which is a finite part of the bound field momentum. To establish…

Sir Joseph LARMOR showed in 1897 that an oscillating electric charge emits radiation energy proportional to (acceleration)$^2$. At first sight,the result appears to be valid for arbitrary accelerations. But, perpetual uniform acceleration…

We examine the electromagnetic fields in the neighbourhood of a "point charge" in arbitrary motion and thereby determine the Poynting flux across a spherical surface of vanishingly small radius surrounding the charge. We show that the…

The classical theory of radiating point-charges is revisited: the retarded potentials, fields, and currents are defined as nonlinear generalized functions and all calculations are made in a Colombeau algebra. The total rate of…

The appearance of the time derivative of the acceleration in the equation of motion (EOM) of an electric charge is studied. It is shown that when an electric charge is accelerated, a stress force exists in the curved electric field of the…

It is shown that a newly derived "exact expression" for radiation of an accelerated charge in the recent literature is simply incorrect, having arisen because of a wrong relativistic transformation of the distance parameter. The ensuing…

Photon emission from a uniformly accelerated charge is among the most mysterious physical phenomena. Theories based on the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation mostly conclude that a uniformly accelerated point charge cannot feel radiation…

In synchrotron radiation there is a paradox whether or not the pitch angle of a radiating charge varies. The conventional wisdom is that the pitch angle does not change during the radiation process. The argument is based on Larmor's…

We discuss the origin of the Schott energy in the Abraham-Lorentz version of electrodynamic radiation theory and how it can be used to explain some apparent paradoxes. We also derive the generalization of this quantity for the…

Flaws and ambiguities are pointed out upon examining the comment attempting to solve a problem as raised recently --- the currently accepted formulation of electromagnetic radiation of an accelerated charge violates the principle of…

The classical theory of radiating point-charges is revisited: the retarded potentials, fields, and currents are defined as nonlinear generalized functions. All calculations are made in a Colombeau algebra, and the spinor representations…
