The correct answer is: $1: 4$
An electron at rest is accelerated by a potential ' $V_{1}$ ', in uniform field experiences a force ' $F_{1}$ '. When potential is changed to ' $V_{2}$ ', the force experienced by the electron gets doubled. The ratio of $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}$ is $1: 2$.
$\mathrm{F}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{eV}_{1}}{\mathrm{~d}} 2 \mathrm{F}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{eV}_{2}}{\mathrm{~d}}$
$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}$
