This document discusses the radiative reaction force from the perspective of the conservation of energy. It explains that when an external force accelerates a charged particle, the particle both gains kinetic energy from the work of the external force and radiates power according to Larmor's formula. For energy to be conserved, there must be an additional force, called the radiative reaction force, that does work to decrease the particle's energy change and transfer that energy to the radiated field. The document provides the equation that defines the radiative reaction force and explains how it ensures energy conservation. It concludes that considering the radiative reaction force satisfies the law of conservation of energy for systems that radiate energy when an external force is applied.
