But the covariant acceleration is not equivalent to the regular classical time rate of change of the velolcity, which is the acceleration that the Larmor formula refers to. Isn't there a classical explanation?
What about the Larmor formula (or for v~c Lienard's generalization of the Larmor formula) which gives the total power radiated by an accelerating charge? It is proportional to a^2. This was derived using only the electric and magnetic field of the moving charge and did not consider the...
Is it true that there are cases in which the radiation reaction force on an electron is nonzero even if its acceleration is constant? I am confused because the radiation reaction force is proportional to the time derivative of the acceleration.
Also when considering the radiation reaction...
