Example 1 8 An electron falls through a distance of 1 5 cm in a uniform electric field of magnitude 2 0 x 104 N C Fig 1 13 a The direction of the field is reversed keeping its magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance Fig 1 13 b Compute the time of fall in each case Contrast the situation with that of free fall under gravity e I e
