General discussion of electromagnetic fields produced by moving charges, in particular by charges that accelerate.

Chapters
0:00:00 Title slate
0:00:21 Problem: what is the electric field at a given point in space from a charged particle?
0:04:05 A charge oscillates with Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) along the zaxis. The radiated field is calculated along the zaxis.
0:07:15 The field is calculated along a line which subtends 30 degrees with the zaxis.
0:07:39 The field is calculated along the yaxis.
0:08:42 A charge is moving in a circle with constant speed. The resultant radiated electromagnetic field is calculated.
0:12:58 The total power radiated by a charge moving with SHM along a straight line is calculated.
