ABSTRACT

As a follow up of the author’s earlier papers the new theory of radiation reaction is placed on a sound theoretical basis. This includes the nature of the equation of motion both under a relativistic Lorentz transformation as well as under a non-relativistic Galilean transformation. It is claimed that both momentum and energy carried out by the radiated fields need to be considered to reach the desired results. It is also shown that the radiation reaction force is non linearly dependent on the externally applied force.
