$A$ small oil drop of mass $10^{-6} \,kg$ is hanging at rest between two plates separated by $1 \,mm$ having a potential difference of $500 \,V$. The charge on the drop is $(g = 10 \,ms^{-2})$

$A$ proton is located at coordinates $(x, y) = (0, 0)$,and an electron is at $(d, h)$,where $d >> h$. At time $t = 0$,a uniform electric field $E$ of unknown magnitude but pointing in the positive $y$ direction is turned on. Assuming that $d$ is large enough that the proton-electron interaction is negligible,at what $y$ coordinate will the two particles have the same $y$ position at the same time?
