[Antennaware] Electrons

[Stephen Kangas]

No sure what you mean by "radiated" electrons.

An antenna does not emit or radiate electrons.  The electrons are flowing
inside the conductive materials of the antenna (eg, elements, balun/unun,
tranmission line, etc).  The moving electrons create a combination electric
and magnetic fields (at right angles to each other), which combination is
known as an electromagnetic field.  The commonly accepted physics definition
of "field" affects particles/electrons at a distance; hopefully, strong
enough to affect a *great* distance.  Thus, the antenna is "radiating" an
electromagnetic field, not electrons.

Hello :)
This question is nagging me for a while now but I did not find yet an
acceptable answer:

Q: Where are the radiated electrons come from?


Is a PhD in Physics in the house?
