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 dE/dt=q^2a^2/6πϵ0c^3 where c is the speed of light.

PartA: If a proton with a kinetic energy of 6.3 MeV is traveling in a particle accelerator in a circular orbit with a radius of 0.650 m, what fraction of its energy does it radiate per second?

PartB: Consider an electron orbiting with the same speed and radius. What fraction of its energy does it radiate per second?
