Finite and divergent parts of the self-force of a point charge from its spherically averaged self-field

V. Hnizdo, G. Vaman

The electromagnetic self-force of a point charge moving arbitrarily on a rectilinear trajectory is calculated by averaging its retarded electric self-field over a sphere of infinit…

Comment on "Basic observables for the accelerated electron and its field"

V. Hnizdo, G. Vaman

We show that the "defective" terms in the expression that Dondera [Phys. Rev. D 98, 096008 (2018)] obtained for the momentum of the retarded field of an accelerating point charge a…

Electromagnetic self-force of a point charge from the rate of change of the momentum of its retarded self-field

V. Hnizdo, G. Vaman

The self-force of a point charge moving on a rectilinear trajectory is obtained, with no need of any explicit removal of infinities, as the negative of the time rate of change of t…

What's the Use of Bound Charge?

David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo

Bound charge is a useful construct for calculating the electrostatic field of polarized material, and it represents a perfectly genuine accumulation of charge. But is such a materi…

The torque on a dipole in uniform motion

David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo

We calculate the torque on an ideal (point) dipole moving with constant velocity through uniform electric and magnetic fields.

Mansuripur's Paradox

David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo

A recent article claims that the Lorentz force law is incompatible with special relativity. We discuss the "paradox" on which this claim is based. The resolution depends on whether…
