Angular momentum in classical electrodynamics


Certain paradoxes of classical electrodynamics that relate to the field angular momentum are discussed. Explicit expressions are obtained for the first terms of the expansion of the angular momentum flux radiated by a set of nonrelativistic charges. The consequences of ambiguities in the definition of the angular momentum tensor in classical electrodynamics are examined.
