oscillating/accelerating charged particles, either electrons or protons, will emit EM radiation/energy it will radiate out from the source just like the waves radiate out across a pond when you toss a pebble into the water.. Think of the water as the E/M field, it is always there, the waves are just disturbances in that field

Thanks
