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
    $1$
  • B
    $(m_p/m_e)^{1/2}$
  • C
    $(m_e/m_p)^{1/2}$
  • D
    $1836$

$A$ particle,of mass $10^{-3} \ kg$ and charge $1.0 \ C$,is initially at rest. At time $t = 0$,the particle comes under the influence of an electric field $\vec{E}(t) = E_0 \sin(\omega t) \hat{i}$,where $E_0 = 1.0 \ N \ C^{-1}$ and $\omega = 10^3 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. Consider the effect of only the electrical force on the particle. Then the maximum speed,in $m \ s^{-1}$,attained by the particle at subsequent times is . . . . . .
