Uniformly accelerated sources in electromagnetism and gravity
Abstract
Description
Electromagnetic field produced by magnetic multipoles in hyperbolic motion is derived and compared with electromagnetic field produced by electric multipoles in hyperbolic motion. The resulting fields are related by duality symmetry. Radiative properties of these solutions are demonstrated. In the second part an analogous, uniformly accelerated source of gravitational radiation is studied, within exact Einstein's theory. Radiative characteristics of the corresponding solution as flux of the radiation and the total mass-energy of the system are calculated and graphically illustrated.
