### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Understanding Electromagnetic Waves Produced by Oscillating Charges** - When a charge is at rest, it produces an electric field around it. - If the charge moves with constant velocity, it generates both an electric field and a magnetic field, but these fields remain constant in space. - However, when a charge oscillates (moves back and forth) or accelerates, it creates changing electric and magnetic fields. These fields vary with both time and space. **Step 2: Explanation of Electromagnetic Wave Generation** ...
