Radiation from a Uniformly Accelerated Charge
  The emission of radiation by a uniformly accelerated charge is analyzed. According to the standard approach, a radiation is observed whenever there is a relative acceleraion between the charge and the observer. Analyzing difficulties that arose in the standard approach, we propose that a radaition is created whenever a relative acceleration between the charge and its own electric field exists. The electric field induced by a charge accelerated by an external (nongravitational) force, is not accelerated with the charge. Hence the electric field is curved in the instantanous rest frame of the accelerated charge. This curvature gives rise to a stress force, and the work done to overcome the stress force is the source of the energy carried by the radiation. In this way, the "energy balance paradox" finds its solution.
