The Abraham–Lorentz force describes the radiation reaction on a charged particle due to its own electromagnetic radiation when it is accelerated. In classical electrodynamics, when a charged particle accelerates, it emits electromagnetic radiation, which results in a loss of energy. This loss of energy can be described as a force acting on the particle, which opposes the acceleration that caused it.
