According to the mass-energy equation [1], E = mc2, the rest energy of an electron is contained in its mass. When the positive and negative electrons annihilate [2], e+ e- = γγ, their rest energy is converted to photon energy and the total energy is conserved. The electron also carries an electric charge and has electromagnetic energy. When an annihilation reaction occurs, the mass disappears and so does the charge, where does the energy of the charge go? If all energy is contained in the mass-energy equation, does this mean that charge and mass are closely related? Therefore, all mass is electromagnetic mass [3][4][5]. If electromagnetic mass is only a part of mass, then what kind of mass is produced by the Higgs mechanism?

One can continue to ask, if the charge contains energy, what form of energy is it? If it is the same as the electric field energy, then when all the energy of the charge is contained in the electric field outside of it, what should the ‘charge’ itself be? And if not, which implies that the charge contains two types of energy, how is the electric field energy bound to the charge energy?
