'Retardation in the Coulomb Potential'


Abstract: The spatial disposition of field energy owing to mutual interaction of two particles is usually considered in retarded force interaction theories. Stimulated by a comment from Allen [Physics Essays, v. 6, p. 614 (1993)], the author briefly summarizes his own prior published analysis of the electrostatic, electromagnetic, and gravitational field energy distributions and their bearing on action-at-a-distance theories.
