ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS PRODUCED BY A CURRENT FLOWING ALONG A HORIZONTAL CON- DUCTOR LOCATED OVER A PERFECTLY CONDUCT- ING GROUND PLANE | REVISITED

Electromagnetic flelds associated with the electric current ∞owing along a horizontal conductor located over perfectly conducting ground are estimated using electromagnetic flelds pertinent to acceleration of electric charges. It is shown that the electric and magnetic flelds that exist below a long overhead horizontal conductor are nothing but the radiation flelds generated by the acceleration of charge at the point of injection of current into the horizontal conductor.
