Any nonzero electric field strength will apply a force to a proton according to F=e*E, e being the electric charge quantum and E the electric field strength, thereby changing it’s speed continuously.

To keep the proton stationary, ori at constant velocity, no field should be present at all.

I am assuming here the proton to be a classic particle, ignoring Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, that states that the speed (or actually, momentum) can not be zero without creating an infinite uncertainty in it’s position.

sana123472: i dont understand
sankar007: Its likely it won’t have one. It’s also unlikely it will ever come to be stationary in space. A proton has mass and it will be effected by the constantly changing directions of slightly different gravity strengths. The same reason you can’t balance a pencil on its point
