How does electromagnetic waves starts to propogates due to a moving charge?

Open in App

Solution

Electromagnetic waves are made of light photons which are emitted by a moving charged particle. A moving charged particle (or even a vibrating one) has an energy associated with it which is released in the form of electromagnetic waves or energetic photons.
Electricity and magnetism interwoven together and are inseparable.
