Abstract

The Maxwell stress tensor and conservation of momentum are used to find the radiation reaction force on a point charge accelerating parallel to its velocity. The derived force, [Formula: see text], is quite different from the Abraham–Lorentz force. It does not depend on the time derivative of the acceleration, and has none of the problems associated with the Abraham–Lorentz force.
