We present a simple approach to determine the self-force acting on an accelerating charged particle. In this approach one considers an extended charged object of finite size $\ensuremath{\epsilon},$ and calculates the overall contribution of the mutual electromagnetic forces at the limit $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}0.$ Previous implementations of this approach often yielded a divergent term $\ensuremath{\propto}1/\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ that could not be cured by…

We present the extended-object approach for the explanation and calculation of the self-force phenomenon (often called “radiation-reaction force”). In this approach, one considers a charged extended

The electromagnetic self-force equation of motion is known to be afflicted by the so-called runaway problem. A similar problem arises in the semiclassical Einstein's field equation and plagues the
TOPICAL REVIEW: Radiation reaction of point particles in curved spacetime
This review is concerned with the motion of a point scalar charge, a point electric charge and a point mass in a specified background spacetime. In each of these three cases the particle produces a

The Abraham–Lorentz force is a finite remnant of the UV singular structure of the self-interaction of a point charge with its own field. The satisfactory description of such an interaction needs a
