- wherever you say acceleration towards the end, do you mean velocity of the charge?(1 vote)
- No, acceleration here means change in the velocity of the charge.
Constant velocity will not produce EM waves according to my knowledge.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Now here I would like to ask a question of my own, why?
Is it because the waves have the velocity as well and can kind of predict the movement of the charge beforehand so it connects with the current waves?(1 vote)
