Thread: Does accelerated electrons in a.c. emit radiations???

It is known by Maxwell's electromagnetic law that charged particles when accelerated emits energy in the form of radiations. In that case do accelerated electrons in a.c. current emit such radiations?

Like in a copper wire with 230 AC Volts??

Yes. Usually 60 Hz radio waves.
