Abstract
The calculation of the electromagnetic radiation produced by a pair of nonrelativistic charged particles presents an interesting difficulty in the case where the net dipole moment of the system vanishes. One ap parently attractive method of solution fails dramatically for the clas sic problem of two electrons in relative circular motion. The reason f or the failure is explained, for this and other systems.
