Abstract
The novel treatment of the interaction between a charged particle and the electromagnetic field, as presented in paper I [H. Dekker, Int. J. Mod. Phys. B8, 1-19 (1994)], is generalized to all orders beyond the standard dipole model. The resulting nonlinear problem is then again statistically linearized and the ensuing dynamics is solved exactly for a harmonically bound nonrelativistic electron. The earlier noted ultraviolet divergence in the system's quantum mechanics is found to be absent, unless the bare electron mass were exactly zero. Inter alia it is also found that the electron's generic quantum distribution is Gaussian
