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
    $r/2$

$A$ nucleus at rest undergoes $\alpha -$ decay according to the equation ${}_{92}^{226}X \to Y + \alpha$. At $t=0$,the emitted $\alpha -$ particle enters a region of space where a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i}$ and an electric field $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i}$ exist. The $\alpha -$ particle enters the region with velocity $\vec{v} = v_0 \hat{j}$ at $x = 0$. After a time $t = \left( \sqrt{3} \times 10^7 \frac{m_{\alpha}}{q_{\alpha} E_0} \right)$,the particle is found to have twice its initial speed. The initial speed $v_0$ of the $\alpha -$ particle is:
