Two protons are launched with the same speed from point 1 inside the parallel-plate capacitor of FIGURE Q25.4. Points 2 and 3 are the same distance from the negative plate.
a. Is , the change in potential energy along the path , larger than, smaller than, or equal to ?

In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is fired at a tumor. As the protons stop in the tumor, their kinetic energy breaks apart the tumor’s DNA, thus killing the tumor cells. For one patient, it is desired to deposit of proton energy in the tumor. To create the proton beam, protons are accelerated from rest through a potential difference. What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor?
