2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/149343We present a pedagogical review of old inconsistencies of Classical Electrodynamics and of some new ideas that solve them. Problems with the electron equation of motion and with the non-integrable singularity of its self-field energy tensor are well known. They are consequences, we show, of neglecting terms that are null off the charge world-line but that give a non null contribution on its world-line. The electron self-field energy tensor is integrable without the use of any kind of renormalization; there is no causality violation and no conflict with energy conservation in the electron equation of motion, when its meaning is properly considered.Replaced with revised version, 4 improved figures and a new section discussing the physical meaning of terms in the electron equation of motion 11 pages, RevtexHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyCausality and Self-consistency in Classical Electrodynamicstext
