The correct answer is:
Cathode rays are composed of electrons, when they move in electric field a force
...(i)
Acts on them, this provides the necessary centripetal force to the particles
...(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
...(iii)
When velocity is doubled same circular path is followed, hence radius is same
...(iv)
Equating Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get
V
