From Wikipedia
The electromagnetic mass of a system is the contribution of electromagnetic interactions to its inertia as calculated using classical electrodynamics. Different approaches to computing the electromagnetic mass give different answers. Electromagnetic mass, like inductance or the Abraham–Lorentz force, is a self-interaction phenomenon, in the sense that a charged body interacts with its own electromagnetic field. The concept first introduced in 1881 by Joseph J. Thomson.
