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

The surface of a planet is found to be uniformly charged. When a particle of mass $m$ and no charge is thrown at an angle from the surface of the planet, it has a parabolic trajectory as in projectile motion with horizontal range $L$. A particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$, with the same initial conditions has a range $L / 2$. The range of particle of mass $m$ and charge $2 q$, with the same initial conditions is

Two identical positive charges are fixed on the $y$ -axis, at equal distances from the  origin $O$. A particle with a negative charge starts on the $x$ -axis at a large distance  from $O$, moves along the $+ x$ -axis, passes through $O$ and moves far away from $O$. Its acceleration $a$ is taken as positive in the positive $x$ -direction. The particle’s  acceleration a is plotted against its $x$ -coordinate. Which of the following best represents  the plot?
