Question: E 1 8 B . 6 A proton is initially at rest. Suppose that at time t = t 0 = 0 , we accelerate

E18B.6 A proton is initially at rest. Suppose that at time t=t0=0, we accelerate it at a rate of 1016ms2 for 2 ns in the +z direction (since the proton has such a small mass, such a large acceleration is realistic). Afterward, the proton coasts in the +z direction at a constant velocity. An observer at point P that is 300 m away from the proton in the +x direction monitors the proton's electric field at that location. (Note that it takes light 10-6s to travel
(a) At t1=1.0ns, what is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at point P?
(b) At t3=1001ns, what is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at point P?
(c) How do the results from parts (a) and (b) compare?
(d) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P at time t3?
(e) How much total electromagnetic energy did this proton radiate?
(f) Suppose that an electron was initially at rest at point P at t2=1000ns. At time t3=1001ns, what are the directions of both the electric force and the magnetic force acting on the electron?
E 1 8 B . 6 A proton is initially at rest.
