Abstract
A general classical theory of a relativistic charged p-brane is formul ated. Membrane's mass is calculated in various ways: from the radiatio n back reaction, from energy-momentum of the electromagnetic field aro und a moving membrane, and from the canonical momentum. This completes the initial Dirac's derivation of the charged membrane's mass.
