MCQ
An electromagnetic waves can be produced, when charge is:
- AMoving with constant velocity
- BMoving in a circular orbit
- CFalling in an electric field
- Dboth (b) and (c)
✓
Answer
- both (b) and (c)
Explanation:
An accelerated charge is the source of electromagnetic waves (EMWs). When the charge is in a circular motion, the direction of its velocity continuously changes and thus it is in accelerated motion and produces EMWs.
A charge falling in an electric field is accelerated by the electric force and thus produces EMWs.
