On the question of the electromagnetic momentum of a charged body
V. B. Morozov
TL;DR
This paper discusses how including a relativistic non-electromagnetic momentum component in macroscopic electrodynamics resolves the 4/3 paradox and aligns electromagnetic mass with electromagnetic momentum.
Contribution
It introduces a relativistic momentum component that reconciles electromagnetic mass and momentum in macroscopic bodies, addressing a longstanding paradox.
Findings
Resolves the 4/3 paradox in electrodynamics
Aligns electromagnetic mass with electromagnetic momentum
Provides a consistent relativistic framework for macroscopic bodies
Abstract
The incorporation of a relativistic momentum of a nonelectromagnetic nature into macroscopic problems of electrodynamics obviates the lack of correspondence between the electromagnetic mass and the electromagnetic momentum of macroscopic bodies, allowing, in particular, the resolution of the well-known 4/3 paradox.
