The electromagnetic power radiated by a nonrelativistic particle with charge q moving with acceleration a is P = q2a2/6π∈0c3where ∈0 is the permittivity of free space (also called the permittivity of vacuum) and c is the speed of light in vacuum. (a) Show that the right side of this equation has units of watts. An electron is placed in a constant electric field of magnitude 100 N/C. Determine (b) the acceleration of theelectron and (c) the electromagnetic power radiated by this electron. (d) What If? If a proton is placed in a cyclotron with a radius of 0.500 m and a magnetic field of magnitude 0.350 T, what electromagnetic power does this proton radiate just before leaving the cyclotron?
