Abstract
Implications of charge-nonconservation effects are discussed. An examination of the electromagnetic fields at regions far away from a charge-nonconservation event shows that these fields cannot satisfy the Maxwell equations. It is concluded that charge conservation is a global property of Maxwell theory and its violation is physically implausible.Keywords
