The diagram shows a small bead of mass $m$ carrying charge $q$. The bead can freely move on a smooth fixed ring placed on a smooth horizontal plane. In the same plane,a charge $+Q$ has also been fixed as shown. The potential at point $P$ due to $+Q$ is $V$. The velocity with which the bead should be projected from point $P$ so that it can complete a circle should be greater than:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{6qV}{m}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{qV}{m}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{3qV}{m}}$
  • D
    none
