There are deeper considerations involved here, but the result is identical. Any electron
has certain parameters like mass, which remain fixed. Acceleration is just an attempt to
increase its energy level with respect to the local environment, and LCE kicks in.
Hope this simple explanation suffices, anything more and I'll have to drag you through
the Quagmire of modern Electromagnetic Field Theory - it really is a quagmire, so do not
bother unless you really need to. In any case, the theory will leave you adrift in this
quicksand, and you will have to stray from the theory just to find out that while the
maths is strong, the physics is really not !!
Good question, and textbooks really have no decent answer. Just like the question of
why an antenna must radiate - where the maths will tell you all sorts of wondrous things
without any physical mechanism or basis.
Deriving an equation which looks like a wave equation, is not any kind of proof of
existence of any physical wave - but the textbooks won't admit that (what honesty !!).
I sometimes wonder whether modern science is really science at all, honestly looks and
stinks like a load of bullshit ! And keep in mind that whatever anyone may say, maths is
NOT physics !
