From Wikipedia:
Bremsstrahlung is electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic nucleus. The moving particle loses kinetic energy, which is converted into a photon because energy is conserved.
Isn't energy conserved for the moving particle in an electrostatic potential, Ekinetic+Epotential=mv22+kqQr? If so, where does the extra energy for photons come from?
Why don't electrons in atoms radiate away their energy?
