What happens when charge accelerates?

[Bassalisk]

Hello PF!

We all know that when charge moves with a certain, constant velocity, a magnetic field forms.

But what happens when charge accelerates? Is the result trivial(nothing special happens), or something else happens?

Just curious.

isn't that just applying a force to a charge? such as the lorentz force?

Well i Don't know. I am thinking something special happens to fields around it.

Accelerating charge is dealt with by using Maxwells equations.

Thank you Studiot. I will read this article in detail after lunch. Seems this will answer my question.
