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}{...

Dipole oscillators question from Feynman lectures 1.28-29

I am confused by the Feynman lectures Vol1Ch28-29. In all the pictures, there is an electric dipole oscillating vertically. We're assuming the intensity is $E^2$ and that in the far r limit $E$ ...

Direct detection of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave from an oscillating dipole

The principle behind the detection of gravitational waves is that stellar-mass sources can act as coherent oscillators, producing a gravitational wave with a well defined, and relatively slowly ...
