title: Analytical calculation of the self-force on a part of a current loop using standard electrodynamics.
abstract: The self-force experienced by a semicircular conducting loop of circular cross section is evaluated analytically using the Lorentz force expression and shown to agree with the result of the partially analytical and partially numerical calculations quoted in the paper of Cavalleri [Phys. Rev. E 58, 2505 (1998)].
