We compute the self-force on a scalar charge at rest in the space–time of long throat. We consider arbitrary values of the mass of the scalar field and the constant of nonminimal coupling of the scalar field to the curvature of space–time. We also show the coincidence of explicit calculations of self-force in the limit of large mass of the field with known results.

We discuss, in the context of classical electrodynamics with a Lorentz invariant cutoff at short distances, the self-force acting on a point charged particle. It follows that the electromagnetic mass of the point charge occurs in the equation of motion in a form consistent with special relativity. We find that the exact equation of motion does not exhibit runaway solutions or non-causal behavior, when the cutoff is larger than half of the classical radius of the electron.
