An electron of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is moving with a speed $v$ in a circular path of radius $r$ perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of intensity $B$. If the speed of the electron is doubled and the magnetic field is halved,what will be the radius of the resulting path?

  • A
    $2r$
  • B
    $4r$
  • C
    $r/4$
  • D
    $r/2$
