An electron and a proton are released from rest at different locations in a region containing a uniform electric field \(\vec{E}\). Each particle moves through a distance \(d\) under the influence of the electric field alone. Which of the following correctly compares the kinetic energy gained by the electron to that gained by the proton, \(K_e / K_p\), and describes their directions of motion relative to \(\vec{E}\)?
