Thank you both. My intuition was confirmed.
So, this has nothing to do with 'near' and 'far' fields. I have not yet seen a clear, explanation of these terms and their significance. Would anyone like to try? Responses much appreciated.
Suppose a point charge is slowly oscillating simple harmonically. Does it emit an electromagnet wave and if not why not ? How does its field change with time. Does anyone know of a good animation ?
Thanks.
