noblec04 said:No, the accelerating of a charged particle such as an electron does not increase the charge of the electron, it merely increases the energy carried by the electron, as a result it releases this excess energy as photons.
Photons do not create EM force, they are the EM force as it were, when negative charged particles approach each other they exchange photons, therefore giving each accelerating each other away from one another.
And finally Yes charged particles can emit photons when stationary.
noblec04 said:if you are meaning a particle on its own, no other particle anywhere in the universe, then it would not according to the transactional interpretation of quantum theory, and Richard Feynman be able to emit any photons.
If however you are looking at a stationary charge and a charge (both of the same, positive say) that is moving towards the stationary object, it was easier for me to think about it in terms of fields(force fields as it were).
When the moving charge enters the field of the stationary charge, it causes a disturbance in this field, propagating as a photon which passes energy to the stationary charge.
And vice versa between the particles until both charges are out of range of the others field, the stationary charge is no longer stationary but has taken energy from the moving charge which is now moving at a slower rate on a different course.

Hope this helps :D
Photons carry electromagnetic force through electromagnetic radiation. This means that they have an electric and magnetic field that oscillate perpendicular to each other, creating a wave-like motion.
Photons are the carriers of electromagnetic force. They are responsible for transmitting the force between charged particles, such as electrons and protons, by interacting with their electric and magnetic fields.
Photons are created through a process called quantum electrodynamics, where energy is converted into a photon. They can also be created through other processes, such as radioactive decay or when electrons change energy levels in an atom.
Yes, photons are considered to be massless particles. This means that they do not have a rest mass, but they do have energy and momentum. This is due to the fact that they travel at the speed of light, which is the limit for any massless particle.
Photons can interact with matter in several ways, depending on their energy and the type of matter they encounter. They can be absorbed, reflected, or scattered by atoms and molecules. They can also be converted into other types of particles, such as electrons, through the photoelectric effect.
