Description

Abstract A new equation of motion for a classical radiating point-charge is proposed. The radiated energy is supplied by a reduction in proper-mass of the particle. Unlike the Lorentz–Dirac equation, the equation proposed is second order: it gives physically reasonable predictions, and in particular has no runaway solutions and no pre-acceleration.
