Under what conditions might wires in a DC circuit emit electromagnetic waves?
ANSWER:
Solution 7CQ
Step 1 of 3
A DC current is a constant flow of charge per unit time through the wire. Since it is not producing a varying electric field, it cannot emit electromagnetic waves by itself. However, the DC current will generate a constant magnetic field around the wire.
