Comment to the paper "The energy conservation law for electromagnetic field in application to problems of radiation of moving particles "

Abstract

In the paper [B.M.Bolotovskii, S.N.Stoliarov, Uspekhi Fizicheskich Nauk, v.162, No 3, p.195, 1992] the energy conservation law was applied to a problem of radiation of a charged particle in an external electromagnetic field. The authors consecutively and mathematically strictly solved the problem but received wrong result. They derived an expression which includes a change of the energies of the electromagnetic fields accompanying the moving particle corresponding to the initial and final velocity of the particle. The energy of the field accompanying the particle is the energy of the particle of the electromagnetic origin. It should not enter the solution of the problem. The origin of the mistake made by the authors is discussed in this comment.
