$A$ charge $q$ is fired towards another charged particle $Q$,which is fixed,with a speed $v$. It approaches $Q$ up to a closest distance $r$ and then returns. If $q$ were given a speed $2v$,the closest distance of approach would be

  • A
    $r$
  • B
    $2r$
  • C
    $\frac{r}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{r}{4}$
