A proton is kept at rest. A positively charged particle is released from rest at a distance d in its field. Consider two experiments; one is which the charged particle is a proton and in another a positron. In the same time t, the work done on the two moving charged particles is.

: Force between two protons = force between a proton and a positron. As positron is much lighter than proton, it moves away a larger distance compared to proton.
As work done = force × distance, therefore in the same time t, work done in case of positron is more than that case of proton.
