A Mathematical Model

The radiative electric field can be generally modeled as [math]\displaystyle{ \vec{E}_{radiative} = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{-q \vec{a}_\perp}{c^2r} }[/math] where q is the charge, [math]\displaystyle{ \vec{a}_\perp }[/math] is the projected acceleration, c is the speed of light and r is the distance between the charge and the observation location.

A Computational Model

The following is a vPython model of Radiative Electric Field due to an instant of acceleration (a "kick") on a charged particle.
