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.)

Two small spherical balls each carrying a charge Q = 10 μC (10 micro-coulomb) are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths 1m each, from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium threads are separated by an angle 60° between them, as shown in the figure.
