$A$ charged particle $q$ is shot towards another charged particle $Q$ which is fixed,with a speed $v$. It approaches $Q$ up to a closest distance $r$ and then returns. If $q$ were given a speed $2v$,the closest distance of approach would be

  • A
    $r$
  • B
    $2r$
  • C
    $r/2$
  • D
    $r/4$
