An electron falls through a small distance in a uniform electric field of magnitude 2xx10^(4)NC^(-1) . The direction of the field reversed keeping the magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance. The time of fall will be

An electron (mass m_(e ) )falls through a distance d in a uniform electric field of magnitude E. , The direction of the field is reversed keeping its magnitudes unchanged, and a proton(mass m_(p) ) falls through the same distance. If the times taken by the electrons and the protons to fall the distance d is t_("electron") and t_("proton") respectively, then the ratio t_("electron")//t_("proton") .

An electron falls through a distance of 1.5 cm in a uniform electric field of magnitude 2.4xx10^(4) NC^(-1) [Fig.1.12 (a)] .
