An energy bound deduced from the vanishing of the radiation reaction force during uniform acceleration
Abstract
Description
We deduce from energy conservation a lower bound on the mass of any system capable of imparting a constant acceleration to a charged body. We also point out a connection between this bound and the so called dominant energy condition of general relativity.
