To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever divide the input arm by the output arm.
Mechanical advantage is the amount by which a machine can multiply an input force, calculated by dividing output Force in newtons by input force in newtons, while the ideal mechanical advantage is the mechanical advantage of a machine that has no friction, calculated by dividing the input distance by the output distance.
Explanation:
Given that,
Charge acting on the object, 
Force acting on the object,
(in downward direction)
(a) The electric force acting in the electric field is given by :

E is the electric field


E = 4.75 N/C
The direction of electric field is as same as electric force. But it is negative charge. So, the direction of electric field is in upward direction.
(b) The charge on the proton is, 
The force acting on the proton is :



If the charge on the proton is positive, the force on the proton is in upward direction.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
matter is the correct answer.
