Necessary and sufficient condition for an electron to radiat

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the necessary and sufficient conditions for an electron to radiate electromagnetic energy. Participants express frustration over the lack of clear answers from various sources, including academic professionals. The thread emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the topic, suggesting that the original poster may not have the advanced knowledge implied by their thread label. There is a call for clarity and specificity in responses to better address the fundamental question. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the complexities of electron radiation and the challenges in obtaining straightforward explanations.

you labelled you thread Advanced, that means you should already have a good understanding of electrons and EM radiation
and the interactions

so what are your thoughts ?
what have you discovered in your studies ?
Is there something specific in some text that you didn't understand ?I suspect your thread should have been labelled, B for Basic ?Dave

I have asked many people in other forum, and in scientific journals, this BASIC question.
Those replied include academician.
Specifically, it is an estonia academician who is one of those who replied.
But none of them gave me clear answer.
Some even gave WRONG answer.
Specifically the academician gave a WRONG answer.
 
none of what you responded with answered my Q's

so what is your level of understanding
A infers a graduate level BSc etc
just so others responding to the thread know how best to answer :smile:

so try again with your current understandings of the topic
 
This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
