Vedclass · Answer

(C) According to the classical theory of electromagnetism,an electric charge at rest produces only an electric field. An electric charge moving with a constant velocity produces both an electric field and a magnetic field,but it does not radiate energy. However,an accelerated electric charge produces a time-varying electric field,which in turn produces a time-varying magnetic field. These time-varying fields propagate through space as electromagnetic waves. Therefore,an accelerated electric charge is a source of electromagnetic waves.
