Radiation from a Charge Uniformly Accelerated for All Time
نویسنده
چکیده
A recent paper of Singal [7] 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 questionable aspects of Singal’s argument and shows how similar calculations can lead to the opposite conclusion.

Radiation from a Uniformly Accelerated Charge*
The electromagnetic field associated with a uniformly accelerated charge is studied in some detail. The equivalence principle paradox that the co-accelerating observer measures no radiation while a freely falling observer measures the standard radiation of an accelerated charge is resolved by noting that all the radiation goes into the region of space time inaccessible to the co-accelerating ob...
متن کاملEnergy Balance of Uniformly Accelerated Charge*t
If the electromagnetic field of a uniformly accelerated charge is computed by means of Liknard-Wiechert potentials, it is found that the result does not correspond to a single source. Besides the original uniformly accelerated charge there is also a second charge, which is spread on a plane recessing in the opposite direction with the velocity of light. The work performed by this second charge ...
متن کاملEquivalence Principle and Radiation by a Uniformly 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, some relative. Detecting photons or electromagnetic waves is not absolute, it depends both on the electromagnetic field and on the state of motion of the ante...
متن کاملVanishing Hawking radiation from a uniformly accelerated black hole.
We consider quantum fields around uniformly accelerated black holes in the eternal Ernst geometry. At a particular value of the acceleration, the Bogolubov transformation which would be responsible for the late-time Hawking radiation, is found to be trivial. When this happens, Hawking’s thermal radiation, Doppler-shifted or not, is absent to the asymptotic inertial observers despite the nonzero...
متن کاملElectrodynamics of hyperbolically accelerated charges V. The field of a charge in the Rindler space and the Milne space
We describe the electromagnetic field of a uniformly accelerated charge in its co-moving Rindler frame. It is shown that the electrical field lines coincide with the trajectories of photons. The self force of a charged particle at rest in Rindler space, and the increase of its weight due to its charge, is calculated. The general case of an accelerated charge in Rindler space is also considered....
