Question
Electromagnetic waves are produced by:
  1. A static charge.
  2. A moving charge.
  3. An accelerating charge.
  4. Chargeless particles.

Answer

  1. An accelerating charge.

Explanation:

A static charge produces an electrostatic field. A moving charge produces a magnetic field. Electromagnetic waves are produced by an accelerating charge.
