A charged particle is free to move in an electric field. It will travel:
1. Always along a line of force
2. Along a line of force, if its initial velocity is zero
3. Along a line of force, if it has some initial velocity in the direction of an acute angle with the line of force
4. None of the above

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. The ratio of \(\frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}}\) is nearly equal to- (Neglect the effect of gravity.)

1. \(1\)
2. \(\left ( \frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}} \right )^{1/2}\)
3. \(\left ( \frac{m_{e}}{m_{p}} \right )^{1/2}\)
