Abstract
The behavior of a charge in motion without restriction on its velocity and acceleration is presented by using generalized expressions for th e electromagnetic fields and an appropriate geometry in which to descr ibe the fields. This combination makes it possible to obtain not only the well-known specific cases (constant velocity and velocity parallel or perpendicular to acceleration), but also the less well-known inter mediate cases (for an arbitrary angle between velocity and acceleratio n) and the extreme cases (Larmor or relativistic approximations) in a continuous manner through computer simulation of the fields and the ra diated energy.
