Abstract: It is proposed a Lagrangian for the quasi-rigid extended charged particle, which consists of a bare point particle term plus the standard electromagnetic minimal coupling. The quasi-rigid motion is imposed as a constraint. The extension of the particle and the quasi-rigid motion appear inside the current density. The Lorentz contraction of the extended particle makes the interaction term dependent on the acceleration. This dependence produces the additional terms in the equations of motion that are necessary for the proper energy and momentum conservation, and that were previously identified as the inertial effects of stress. The momentum of stress is obtained as an explicit function of the electromagnetic field.
