Abstract

Energy of the exterior and the interior fields of a particle, charged or otherwise, embedded in an empty space is calculated, using Møller's tetrad formulation of the energy-momentum complex in general relativity. It is found that the exterior field contains positive gravitational energy, and in addition, the electromagnetic energy if the particle is a charged one and that the sum total of the energies of the interior and the exterior fields is equivalent to the Newtonian mass of the particle.
