Give a simple possible argument to suggest that an accelerated charge must emit electromagnetic radiation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

An electric charge can produce electric as well as magnetic field which very with time and are
perpendicular to each other. These time varying fields, mutually perpendicular to each other will produce
a disturbance which can travel through a space in the form of e.m. wave.
