$A$ particle of charge $q$,mass $m$ and kinetic energy $E$ enters a magnetic field perpendicular to its velocity and undergoes a circular arc of radius $r$. Which of the following curves represents the variation of $r$ with $E$?

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?

An electron is moving in a circular path under the influence of a transverse magnetic field of $3.57 \times 10^{-2} \, T$. If the value of $e/m$ is $1.76 \times 10^{11} \, C/kg$,the frequency of revolution of the electron is
