Abstract
A Fokker action principle is obtained for a system of particles with charge, spin, and magnetic moment, interacting through time‐symmetric electromagnetic fields. Conservation laws are derived for the energy, and the linear and angular momentum of the system. A limiting process is performed, which involves a renormalization of mass, in order that the magnitude of the spin of each particle remain constant.Keywords
