One of the reasons that Rutherford's planetary model of the atom has been modified is the observations of the atom do not support the theory pf the electrons orbiting the nucleus in a manner similar to planets orbiting a star. However according to Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic radiation, such an orbiting electron should emit electromagnetic radiation because
a) the electron is travelling at uniform speed
b)the electron is accelerating toward the nucleus
c) there is an electrostatic force of repulsion between the orbiting electron
d) there is an alternating electromagnetic dipole as the electron switches sides of the nucleus

B would be correct.
