The electron should experience a greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and should fall through distance "d" in a shorter amount of time.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The electron force can be expressed as F=qE. According to Newton's second law of motion force can be expressed as F=ma. This can be written as a=F/m. Substituting electric force expression for "F" in this equation, we get a=qE/m. This means acceleration is conversely proportional to mass and directly to electric field and charge. This means that proton having significantly larger mass than electron should experience smaller amount of acceleration and would take longer to fall at distance "d".
On the other hand, the electron would experience greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and would fall faster at distance "d", unlike the situation of proton.
Answer:
CERN uses a series of particle accelerators to accelerate protons to their end speeds in the LHC. The first accelerator is the linear accelerator Linac 2. At one end of Linac 2, hydrogen from a bottle is passed through an electric field to strip off the electrons, leaving positively charged protons.
