Abstract
I will present a Hamiltonian model of a particle coupled to a suitable wave field, describing the particle's environment, in which a simple version of Ohm's law is valid. When an external force is applied, the particle reaches asymptotically a constant speed proportional to the applied field. I will review the related literature, compare this phenomenon to the one of radiative dissipation, and indicate some of the many open problems
