### Where do electrons get their ever-lasting circulating energy?

We all know (or maybe know) that to move, we need to spend energy. If you want to drive a car, you gotta spend gasoline. We also know that energy can't be created (first law of thermodynamics, and ...

### Brehmsstrahlung radiation query - If an electron is constantly being decelerated, how does it emit a photon with a fixed energy?

According to my textbook they simply say an electron is decelerated by a nuclei and this means it loses KE. The difference in KE is given off as a photon. But an electron is always being pulled back ...
