An electron falls through a small distance in a uniform electric field of magnitude 2 x 104NC-1.The direction of the field is reversed keeping the magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance. The time of fall will be 

a
Same in both cases
b
More in the case of an electron
c
More in the case of proton
d
Independent of charge

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The time required to fall through distance d is d=12qEmt2 or t=2dmqESince t2∝m ,a proton takes more time.
