    Charge Observer
AI Thread Summary
An accelerated charge radiates electromagnetic waves as observed by a stationary observer, raising the question of whether a stationary charge would also radiate when observed by an accelerated observer. The discussion emphasizes that, according to the principles of relativity, the converse should hold true. Participants inquire about the theoretical framework that supports this phenomenon and seek equations to calculate the frequency of radiation and acceleration. The conversation highlights the complexities of electromagnetic radiation in different reference frames. Ultimately, the relationship between charge motion and radiation remains a key focus in understanding relativistic effects.

Accelerated charge radiates as observed by a stationary observer..is the converse also true?..i.e. Does a stationary charge observed by an accelerated observer radiates?

In light of relativity, it has to be so...

Which theory explains this? is there any equation for this to find the frequency of radiation and acceleration
 
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...
