Electric field of dipole antenna

I have seen that the electric field of a dipole antenna detaches and propagates. For a section of the detached electric field, will the antenna experience recoil if the detached field moves a charged ...

What is the $\frac{1}{r^2} $ term in the electric field of a Hertzian dipole equations?

Taking common equation for the electric field of a Hertzian dipole from Wikipedia: $${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}E_{\theta }=i{\frac {\zeta _{0}I\delta \ell }{4\pi }}\left({\frac {k}{r}}-{\frac {i}{...

Spherical wavefronts from a linear electric dipole-antenna

We are given the equation \begin{equation*} \vec{E}=\hat{u}_\theta\ p_0 \sin{(\theta)}\frac{k^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0r}\sin{(kr-\omega t)}~, \end{equation*} that describes the far field radiated ...
