Abstract
In the proposed theory for analyzing the electromagnetic radiation and mutual couplings in vacuum, the electromagnetic energy associated with a source is separated into three parts: a Coulomb-velocity energy, a radiative energy and a macroscopic Schott energy. When the sources disappear, the Coulomb-velocity energy disappears simultaneously; a short time later, the total macroscopic Schott energy becomes zero, while the radiative energy keeps propagating and the total radiative energy becomes constant. By applying the Liénard-Wiechert potentials to a moving charge, this paper illustrates that the macroscopic Schott energy corresponds to the Schott energy in the charged particle theory.
