Abstract
ABSTRACTThe electromagnetic energy & of the field of a charged particle is calculated, using Møller's theory summarized in the previous paper. The contribution of & to the gravitational mass of the charged particle is discussed, by studying the behaviour of a neutral test particle in its field. The conclusion is that & gives rise to an ‘effective’ gravitational mass of the charged particle, which is equal to the (Newtonian) gravitational mass of the charged particle, plus the mass-equivalence of &. This is contrary to the currently accepted theory, that what we have called the ‘effective’ gravitational mass is equal to the ‘Newtonian’ gravitational mass of the charged particle.
