The synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons in a thermal plasma with large-scale random magnetic fields is considered. In this case, the spectral synchrotron power of a single electron can be given in closed form allowing exact analytical expressions for the synchrotron emissivity, absorption coefficient, intensity and total energy loss of particles to be derived. The influence of various physical parameters such as gas density, magnetic field strength, particle's Lorentz factor on the resulting emissivities, intensities and energy loss is discussed in detail. Since in quasar broad line regions the Razin-Tsytovich frequency vR is of the order of 1011Hz the suppression of synchrotron radiation may explain why most quasars are radio quiet.
