A new cancer treatment called particle therapy is being developed. A beam of particles is accelerated by an electric field. In some cases, protons are used. In other cases, carbon ions are used. In preliminary design, a uniform electric field accelerates a proton through a 24-meter long tube to a speed of 2.0x105 m/s. (a) What is the strength of the electric field? (b) A doctor instead prescribes a beam of carbon ions which will be accelerated by the same field. The carbon atoms are fully ionized. How fast will the carbon atoms go? 2. A very long wire that has a linear charge density of +5.0 C/m lies along the y axis. A second wire, parallel to the first, has an x position of+1.0 m meters. It has a charge density of -2.0 C/m. At what points on the x axis is the potential equal to zero? y
