Abstract
Clausius force as equivalent to a time-instant Lorentz force. Action-reaction opposition expressed with the help of potential momenta QA. Conservation of a system's total mass, linear, angular and barycentric momenta. Automatic rendering of the 1967 “hidden momentum in magnets” effect. Clausius formalism asthe low velocity approximation to the Wheeler-Feynman electrodyanmics.
