%X Context
and Background: The product of the electromagnetic (EM) wave*s
power P times its period 而, i.e. P而, is the amount of energy conserved
in EM wave*s absorption in matter. Whether P而 is the amount of energy conserved in the emission of EM waves from matter is
not assessed. Motivation: In this research,
we perform a computational study to explore the ability of P而 to represent the
amount of energy conserved in EM wave*s emission from matter. Hypothesis: Since the magnitude of the power P of
emitted EM waves computed through Larmor*s formula for a rotating dipole is
excessively small, we alternatively hypothesize that P而 and the law of conservation of energy can lead to a realistic
estimation of P. Methods: We
estimate the power PAME of
the anomalous microwave emission (AME), a well-characterized radiation
generated in the interstellar medium (ISM) by spinning dust grains, and one possible source of contamination of the cosmic
microwave background (CMB). For our estimation of
