Magnetic radiation reaction force

ID: magnetic-radiation-reaction-force

The magnetic radiation reaction force refers to the force experienced by a charged particle that emits electromagnetic radiation due to its acceleration. When a charged particle, such as an electron, is accelerated, it generates electromagnetic waves, which carry energy away from the particle. This emission of radiation leads to a change in the momentum of the particle, resulting in an additional force acting on it known as the radiation reaction force.
