We study the electromagnetic fields of an arbitrarily moving charged particle and the radiation reaction on the charged particle using a novel approach. We first show that the fields of an arbitrarily moving charged particle in an inertial…

The existence of electromagnetic radiation - radio-waves, microwaves, light, x-rays and so on - is one of the most important physical phenomena, and our ability to manipulate them is one of the most significant technological achievement of…

We consider an electric charge uniformly accelerating along $x$ direction and moving with constant velocity along $y$ direction. We show that in the co-accelerating along $x$ direction Rinder's frame this charge creates non-zero Poynting…

A simple gedankenexperiment is proposed showing observability of radiation by an observer comoving with an accelerated charge.

We address the old question of whether or not a uniformly accelerated charged particle radiates, and consequently, if weak equivalence principle is violated by electrodynamics. We show that radiation has different meanings; some absolute,…

The power radiated by a moving charge is given by Larmor's formula which can be derived by integrating the Li\'enard-Wiechert potential over the whole past history of the charge. However, extracting the same result from the…

We study in detail the electromagnetic fields and the Poynting flux in the case of a uniformly accelerated charge, in order to examine whether such a charge does `emit' radiation, especially in view of the widely accepted fact that there is…

Working within the framework of the classical theory of electrodynamics, we derive an exact mathematical solution to the problem of self-field (or radiation reaction) of an accelerated point-charge traveling in free space. We obtain…

The angular momentum of radiation from an arbitrarily moving relativistic charge is studied. The angular momentum is presented as the sum of the angular momentum relative to the point where the charge is located at a retarded moment of time…

The motion of a test particle in the gravitational field of a non-spherical source endowed with both mass and mass quadrupole moment is investigated when a test radiation field is also present. The background is described by the Erez-Rosen…

We argue that purely local experiments can distinguish a stationary charged particle in a static gravitational field from an accelerated particle in (gravity-free) Minkowski space. Some common arguments to the contrary are analyzed and…

The question of what is the source of the energy carried by the radiation is discussed. The case of a hyperbolic motion is analyzed, describing the solutions suggested in the past for the "energy balance paradox". The solution to the…

The assumed universality of the equivalence principle suggests that a particle in a gravitational field has identical physics to one in an accelerated frame. Yet, energy considerations prohibit radiation from a static particle in a…

Electromagnetic field produced by magnetic multipoles in hyperbolic motion is derived and compared with electromagnetic field produced by electric multipoles in hyperbolic motion. The resulting fields are related by duality symmetry.…

The uniform acceleration of a point charge moving along a stationary worldline, which emits constant radiated power was investigated. A classification of motion of a particle along stationary worldlines into six types is made. The angular…

In this paper we analyze the classical electromagnetic radiation of an accelerating point charge moving on a straight line trajectory. Depending on the duration of accelerations, rapidity distributions of photons emerge, resembling the ones…

We study quantum radiation generated by an accelerated motion of a small body with a refractive index n which differes slightly from 1. To simplify calculations we consider a model with a scalar massless field. We use the perturbation…

A recent paper of Singal [Gen. Rel. Grav. 27 (1995), 953-967] argues that a uniformly accelerated particle does not radiate, in contradiction to the consensus of the research literature over the past 30 years. This note points out some…

We revisit the long standing problem of analyzing an inertial electric charge from the point of view of uniformly accelerated observers in the context of semi-classical gravity. We choose a suitable set of accelerated observers with respect…
