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?
 
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
