Abstract

In this paper we explore some surprising consequences of the retardation effects of Maxwell's electrodynamics to a system of charged particles. The specific cases of three interacting particles are considered in the framework of classical electrodynamics. We show that the solutions of the equations of motion defined by the Darvin Lagrangian in some cases contradict to common sense.
