Default Obtaining electromagnetic radiation from accelerating electrons

But the important thing is that there's an equal number of positive and
negative charges floating around there, so there's zero net charge. An

exactly matched by the opposite field from a positively charged
something else.


Does that mean a column of salt water could not be
used as an antenna?
