Accelerating Charge Radiation

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around the concepts of radiation emitted by accelerating charges, with a focus on the terminology used in the referenced articles. The terms "stationary" and "accelerating" are explored, highlighting the distinction between an object at rest and one that is changing velocity. The participants express confusion regarding the definitions and implications of these terms in the context of radiation. Clarification is sought on how these concepts relate to the behavior of charges in electromagnetic fields. Understanding these foundational ideas is crucial for grasping the broader topic of radiation from accelerating charges.

Selfluminous

Last night when i was bored, i googled some stuffs about radiation of accelerating charge and saw this http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath528/kmath528.htm

I don't understand the beginning of the article, what does the author mean by "stationary and accelerating" ? or "stationary" ?

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...
