Extract

The general solution of Born's new field equations is found for the two-dimensional electrostatic case, by which the coordinates are expressed as functions of the field vectors, Conditions for inversion are discussed. Special cases are worked out, namely: singnle charge, two charges, charge in a constant field. Expressions are given for forces acting on the charges. A singular solution is also discussed, with reference to the neutron. The implication of the solutions on the general theory and the equations of motion is discussed in the conclusion.
