An electron falls through a distance d in a uniform electric field of magnitude E. Thereafter, the direction of the field is reversed (keeping its magnitude the same) and now a proton falls through the same distance. Compare, using quantitative reasoning, the time of fall in each case.
Contrast this situation with that of objects falling freely under gravity.
