Open full text 15 citations
Abstract
It is shown that the divergencies in classical electrodynamics may be removed by subtracting the self-energies of isolated electrons by means of a modification of the usual expression for the force density in an electromagnetic field. The results obtained are equivalent to those of Dirac and Wentzel.
