    We do know the charge of a proton is positive. And the mass is 1.67e-27kg. Intuitively, the e-field would have to be repulsive (positive) from the bottom or attractive (negative) from the top to draw the proton "up" against gravity. The strength of this e-field has to equal the pull from gravity mg.
