We consider bremsstrahlung encounters between a test body of massm, chargee, and a large fixed massM with chargeQ. We use the method of virtual quanta, and calculate the total electromagnetic and gravitational energy radiated in such encounters. We consider both the case in which the deflection is principally electromagnetic in nature, and the case in which the deflection is principally gravitational. The results are interpreted by considering the predictions of the equivalence principle, for the behavior of the test particle,and for the behavior of the virtual quanta. As expected from the equivalence principle, the total radiation produced is larger for electromagnetic deflection than for a gravitational deflection through the same angle.
