[#r574880e] - If we consider that the electromagnetic field created by a free-falling charged particle is also free-falling, pulled by gravity, then no paradox arises. (2022/9/10) -- Thus, a free-falling charged particle does not emit electromagnetic waves. #br *** Another question - Do charged particles at rest in a gravitational field emit electromagnetic waves? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_radiation_of_charged_particles_in_a_gravitational_field **** Ans. [#e71b455e] - Again, the field created by the charged particle is stationary with respect to the charged particle, so it does not emit electromagnetic waves. (2022 9/17)
