Out of the following options which one can be used to produce a propagating electromagnetic wave?

1. A charge moving at constant velocity
2. A stationary charge
3. A chargeless particle
4. An accelerating charge

Correct answer: An accelerating charge

Solution

An accelerating charge produces a time-varying electric field, which in turn generates a time-varying magnetic field, leading to the propagation of an electromagnetic wave.
