We discuss whether electric charge conservation may not hold infour-dimensional world in models with infinite extra dimensions, i.e., whetherescape of charged particles from our brane is consistent with effectivelyfour-dimensional electrodynamics on the brane. We introduce a setup with photonlocalized on the brane and show that charge leakage into extra dimension isallowed within this setup. The electric field induced on the brane by escapingcharge does not obey four-dimensional Maxwell's equations; this field graduallydisappears in a causal way. We also speculate on the possibility of the escapeof colored particles and formation of colorless free quark states on the brane.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, misprint correcte
