Question

An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance h in a uniform and vertically upward
directed electric field E. The direction of electrical field is now reversed, keeping its magnitude the same. A proton is allowed to fall from rest in through the same vertical distance h. The time fall of the electron, in comparison to the time fall of the proton is :-

Options

A.

smaller

B.

5 times greater

C.

10 times greater

D.

equal

Solution

S = ut + 12at2
h = 0 + 12qEmt2t=2hmqE  t m
as mass of proton is heavier than electron, hence electron will take less time.
