We give a detailed description of the energy momentum relationships of the Bondi Gold field. The Schott field is separated into a near field and a radiation field. The physical significance of a plane acting as a barrier for transport of energy in the field of a charge with permanent hyperbolic moti

✦ Synopsis
The relativistic equation of motion of a radiating charge is discussed with special emphasis upon a clarification of the significance of the Schott energy for the energy-momentum conservation of the charge and the field it produces. In particular hyperbolic motion is studied. The case that a charge with constant velocity enters and leaves a region with hyperbolic motion is analysed. We find that the Schott energy is increased as the particle enters the region and that the energy it radiates while the charge moves hyperbolically comes from the Schott energy. A result of our analysis is that this energy is localized in the field close to the charge.

The question whether a hyperbolically moving charge emits radiation is discussed. In order to arrive at an unambiguous answer the question is considered from several points of view. The power spectrum of the electromagnetic field due to a hyperbolically moving charge is deduced. Also we analyse the

The field of a particle with eternal hyperbolic motion is found by taking the limit of a situation with limited hyperbolic motion. The flow of energy in the electromagnetic field is discussed.

Quantities conserved to O(c-a), for a closed system of charged particles in motion, are derived from the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor by making use of a fluid description. These quantities are compared with those derived from the Darwin Lagrangian. The approximation is taken one step beyon
