Reply to "Comment on 'Experimental proof of standard electrodynamics by measuring the self-force on a part of a current loop' "
Our paper [Phys. Rev. E 58, 2505 (1998)] described experimental results that brought into agreement standard theory and experiment, in contrast to two previous experiments that claimed disagreement. The shape of our circuit was designed to improve knowledge of the electric flux lines. Such a shape required numerical calculations to predict the relevant force on the mobile part of the circuit.
