alleryAccording to Maxwell's theory, which charges radiate electromagnetic waves?
AAccountable charges
BAccelerated charges
CAccumulated charges
DAccompanied charges
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Accelerated charges
1. A charge sitting still makes only a static field.
2. A charge moving steadily makes only a steady magnetic field.
3. It is an important result of Maxwell's theory that accelerated charges radiate electromagnetic waves.
4. So the answer is accelerated charges.
