I have simple question here that I've been wondering about for sometime now, and here it is. In classical physics when an charge is accelerated it creates an oscillating electric field which creates an oscillating magnetic field, a electromagnetic wave, and each field carries energy with it. So my question was does that energy come from the charge/electron? Does the electron give up some of it's kinetic energy? If so why would the electron loss energy if were to speed up?
