Observing Oscillating Charges: Effects on Energy

AI Thread Summary
An oscillating charge, such as that in an antenna, emits electromagnetic waves, which include oscillating electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields. An observer moving in a constant distance from the charge will perceive the oscillating electric field, despite not detecting a magnetic field due to their relative motion. The discussion highlights the complexities of observing electromagnetic radiation from accelerated reference frames and the implications for energy reception. The key point is that even with a fixed distance, the observer can still detect the oscillating electric field. Understanding these interactions is crucial for grasping the behavior of electromagnetic waves in different reference frames.

Hi all

let suppose a charge is in oscillating (e.g antenna),it broadcast wave,and also suppose an observer oscillate , so the observer had saw the charge in fixed distance so we have not magnetic field.

what we could say about the energy that the observer recived?
 
Physics news on Phys.org


The oscillating charge will still radiate.
 


Thanks
But I could not understand your sentence,
finally the observer will see the wave or not?
 


That observer will still see an oscillating E field. But we need to be careful E and B fields in accelerated reference frames. And don't take anything i say to literally
 


I also don't understand;Whay should "That observer will still see an oscillating E field ?" when the charge and Observer are in a constant distance?
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
