Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by accelerating charges. The rate at which energy is emitted from an accelerating
Question:
Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by accelerating charges. The rate at which energy is emitted from an accelerating charge that has charge q and acceleration a is given by where c is the speed of light.(a) Verify that this equation is dimensionally correct.(b) If a proton with a kinetic energy of 6.0 MeV is traveling in a particle accelerator in a circular orbit of radius 0.750 m, what fraction of its energy does it radiate per second?(c) Consider an electron orbiting with the same speed and radius. What fraction of its energy does it radiate persecond?
