Abstract In the present article, we have studied the effects of electromagnetic field on the conformally flat collapsing stars with anisotropic heat conducting fluid in the framework of modified f(R) theory of gravity. For this purpose, we have formulated the junction conditions between the Vaidya spacetime and interior manifold at the junction interface for the extraction of an exact collapsing solution and the continuity of scalar curvature. Thereafter the physical parameters such as pressures Pr and Pt, energy density and heat flux are elucidated in the presence of electric charge through graphical representation. Also, we have investigated the different energy conditions for the physical viability of the system. It is found that the presence of charge, divergence of a non-zero acceleration and heat flux diminishes the rate of collapse and settle down the system in a zero volume.
