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. Neglecting the effect of gravity, the ratio of ${t_2}/{t_1}$ is nearly equal to

An electron enters a parallel plate capacitor with horizontal speed $u$ and is found to deflect by angle $\theta$ on leaving the capacitor as shown below. It is found that $\tan \theta=0.4$ and gravity is negligible. If the initial horizontal speed is doubled, then the value of $\tan \theta$ will be
