How Does a Charge Exert Force on Itself?

[QUOTE="Avi Nandi, post: 5481446, member: 346743"] The problem: there is a charge and current configuration. Electric field and magnetic field originates from this configuration. The charges now move under the influence of the field in time dt. What is the work done by the field? While calculating the work done we take force as ∫ρ(E+v×B).vdt dV. Why the same field originating from ρ exerting force on it? We are not ignoring the field of the charge on which we are calculating force, the problem is the whole field is taken during calculation. I am following the book written by Griffiths. [/QUOTE]
