Explain how a radio antenna works when transmitting a signal.
When the electricity moves back and forth in the antenna at the same frequency as the radio waves, it creates both a magnetic field and an electrical field around the antenna. This continuous (analog) combination of magnetism and electrical pressure moves away (propagates) from the antenna the same way that water waves move away from the point of impact when you throw a rock in a pond.
