Question: An electron of mass ${m_e}$ initially at rest moves through a certain distance in a uniform electric field in time ${t_1}$. A proton of mass ${m_p}$ also initially at rest takes time ${t_2}$ to move through an equal distance in this uniform electric field. Neglecting the effect of gravity, the ratio of ${t_2}/{t_1}$ is nearly equal to


1) 1
2) ${({m_p}/{m_e})^{1/2}}$
3) ${({m_e}/{m_p})^{1/2}}$
4) 1836
