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. The ratio of \(\frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}}\) is nearly equal to- (Neglect the effect of gravity.)
1. \(1\)
2. \(\left ( \frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}} \right )^{1/2}\)
