Abstract
The inconsistency between the power and force equations of motion, (2.4) and (2.1) or (2.5), is so surprising that one is tempted to question the Lorentz- Abraham derivation ([10], [3, secs. 15 and 22], [4, sec. 180]) of (2.1) and (2.4). Thus, let us take a careful look at their method of derivation.
