An electron of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is travelling with a speed $v$ along a circular path of radius $r$ at right angles to a uniform magnetic field $B$. If the speed of the electron is doubled and the magnetic field is halved,then the resulting path would have a radius of:

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