Some sections below are marked with asterisks, as this section is. The asterisks
indicate that you won’t need this material for the quiz, and need not understand it. It is
included, however, for completeness, and because some people might want to make use
of it to solve problems by methods other than the intended ones.

The Abraham-Lorentz formula is guaranteed to give the correct average energy
loss for periodic or nearly periodic motion, but one would like a formula
that works under general circumstances. The Abraham-Lorentz formula
leads to runaway solutions which are clearly unphysical. The problem of
radiation reaction for point particles in classical electrodynamics apparently
remains unsolved.
