The significance of the Schott energy for the conservation of energy of a radiating charge
Abstract
It is demonstrated that energy is conserved during runaway motion of a radiating charge, and during free fall of a charge in a field of gravity. The decisive role of the Schott energy in this connection is made clear. Also it is pointed out that a proton and a neutron fall with the same acceleration in a uniform gravitational field although the proton radiates and the neutron does not.
