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

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is fastened to one end $A$ of a massless string having equilibrium length $\ell$,whose other end is fixed at point $O$. The whole system is placed on a frictionless horizontal plane and is initially at rest. If a uniform electric field $E$ is switched on along the $x$-direction as shown in the figure,then the speed of the particle when it crosses the $x$-axis is

An electron with kinetic energy $K_{1}$ enters between parallel plates of a capacitor at an angle $\alpha$ with the plates. It leaves the plates at an angle $\beta$ with the plates. If the kinetic energy of the electron when leaving is $K_{2}$,then the ratio of kinetic energies $K_{1}:K_{2}$ is ....... .
