Radiation from rotating electric dipole

Movie created by Bill McHargue for PHYS 743, EM2, Fall 1996

The dipole is the black arrow at the origin. The peanut-shaped black surface shows the angular distribution of radiated power, or intensity.
The radiated electric field (blue) and magnetic field (red) are shown in 3-d at selected locations.
The movie clip covers one period of rotation and is best viewed by choosing the continuous loop button. There is no sound.
