The paper explains the force induced by the electrostatic field on the electron as a recoil
force. The starting point is the hypothesis
that in the dynamic equilibrium with the vacuum, the electron simultaneously absorbs and emitts
energy. With no external electrostatic
field the radiation patterns of absorption and emission are assumed to be
isotropic. The external electrostatic field induces anisotropy of the
emission resulting in a recoil force. The paper presents a theoretical description of this force using a model of the angular power density
pattern of the emission in the form of an ellipsoid. Calculations show that the total radiated power is extremely high. This radiation is
compared with the electromagnetic radiation of the electron on the Bohr orbit in the idealized hydrogen atom. An analogous problem for
gravitational forces is presented.
