Abstract
The theory of the loss of energy of a non accelerated charged particle in a material medium is investigated, using classical electrodynamics. Special attention is given to the mechanism of the loss. The results of Fermi, Halpern and Hall, Wick and A. Bohr are generalized and further extended. The points of view of action at a distance (Bohr) and field theory (Fermi) are discussed and compared. The mechanism of the emission of Cerenkov radiation is examined and the relations with the emission of acceleration radiation analysed.
