Abstract

The inhomgeneous equations of electrodynamics known as the Maxwell-Lorentz equations have been incorrectly interpreted since they were first produced early in this century. In the present paper it is shown that the two equations containing the inhomogeneities <img border="0" alt="rho" align="middle" src="http://physicsessays.aip.org/stockgif3/rgr.gif" />, j lead to a set of differential equations governing short-range fields that exist at the same point as their source densities <img border="0" alt="rho" align="middle" src="http://physicsessays.aip.org/stockgif3/rgr.gif" /> and j, and that vanish wherever <img border="0" alt="rho" align="middle" src="http://physicsessays.aip.org/stockgif3/rgr.gif" /> and j are zero. It is suggested that these are the missing differential equations governing the structure and stability of electromagnetic particles.
