Electric field to balance the weight of an electron and proton

[Ahsan123]

What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field that will balance the weight of (a) an electron and
(b) a proton?

Please I am getting confused in this question. I want help with complete explanation. Thanks in advance. How will it done..?

Do you have any ideas where to start?

Some hints: 1) draw a force diagram, it should just have 2 forces. 2) what is the weight of an electron/proton, and how are they affected by an electric field? (i.e. what force is exerted on them by an electric field?)
