Which of the following type of radiations are radiated by on oscillating electric charge?
- A. Electric
- B. Magnetic
- C. Thermoelectric
- D. Electromagnetic
Step-by-step solution
An oscillating electric charge accelerates, and according to Maxwell's equations, accelerating charges produce electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, hence they are electromagnetic radiations.
