scholarly journals Self-field, radiated energy, and radiated linear momentum of an accelerated point charge: part 2

A new equation of motion for a classical radiating point-charge is proposed. The radiated energy is supplied by a reduction in proper-mass of the particle. Unlike the Lorentz–Dirac equation, the equation proposed is second order: it gives physically reasonable predictions, and in particular has no runaway solutions and no pre-acceleration.

The basic concepts and mathematical constructions of the Maxwell–Lorentz electrodynamics in flat space–time of an arbitrary even dimension d = 2n are briefly reviewed. We show that the retarded field strength [Formula: see text] due to a point charge living in a 2n-dimensional world can be algebraically expressed in terms of the retarded vector potentials [Formula: see text] generated by this charge as if it were accommodated in 2m-dimensional worlds nearby, 2 ≤ m ≤ n+1. With this finding, the rate of radiated energy–momentum of the electromagnetic field takes a compact form.
