==Abstract==

It is shown that a linearly accelerated charge generates an electric field which opposes its own acceleration in the same direction as the Newtonian force created by an accelerated mass.&nbsp; A case can be made that an overall electrically neutral mass would still experience a similar force opposing acceleration.&nbsp; Finally, if the charge is spinning at the speed of light, one can account for relativistic changes of inertial mass.
