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

A particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between the two charged plates initially moving along $x$ -axis with speed $v_{x}$ (like particle $1$ in Figure). The length of plate is $L$ and an uniform electric field $E$ is maintained between the plates. Show that the vertical deflection of the particle at the far edge of the plate is $q E L^{2} /\left(2 m v_{x}^{2}\right)$
