Radiation mechanism in 2 wires

Radiation mechanism in 2 wire antenna:
Consider an antenna drives by a transmission line with a voltage source conductor. The electric lines of force are tangent to the electric field. The strength of electric lines of force is proportional to electric field intensity. As the free electrons have a tendency to get separated from the atom, the electric lines of force operate on free electrons of each conductor and force to displace. Due to the charge movement, the current is produced and it produces magnetic field intensity.
The electric field lines travel from positive charges to negative charges while the magnetic field lines form closed loops encircling current-carrying conductors. The charge distribution is due to electric field lines. Assuming a sinusoidal source between the two conductors, the electric field between the conductor is also sinusoidal.
