6.8 Computation of the self-interactions<br />

We can now use the expressions of the previous sections, as well as the power,<br />

force and torque equations of motion of Chapter 4, to obtain the radiation<br />

reaction equations of motion themselves.<br />

6.8.1 Non-radiative equations of motion<br />

The equations of motion in Chapter 4, ignoring radiation reaction, were<br />

obtained for an arbitrary velocity of the particle.<br />

Since we have, in this<br />

chapter, placed the “receiving” body at rest, we need only consider these<br />

equations for the simplified situation v = 0.<br />

dipole and magnetic dipole, we then find<br />

P q = 0,<br />

P d = d ˙σ·E,<br />

P µ = µ ˙σ·B,<br />

F q<br />

= qE,<br />

F d = d(σ·∇)E + d( ˙v·σ)E + d ˙σ×B,<br />

For a point charge, electric<br />

F µ = µ(σ·∇)B + µ( ˙v·σ)B − µ ˙σ×E + µσ×J,<br />

N q = 0,<br />

N d = dσ×E,<br />

N µ = µσ×B. (6.116)<br />
