So I understand that to calculate the intensity a distance d away from a light-bulb you would treat the light-bulb as a point source and do a gaussian-sphere-type-of-thing to figure out the intensity at the desired location. My problem involves a solid object made up of "point" light sources...

Homework Statement A high-speed proton of electric charge e is modeled as moving with constant speed v past an electron of mass m and charge −e initially at rest. The electron is a distance α from the straight-line path of the proton and we assume it ‘scarcely moves’ while the proton comes...
