When an electron placed in a uniform magnetic field is accelerated from rest through a potential difference $V_1$,it experiences a force $F$. If the potential difference is changed to $V_2$,the force experienced by the electron in the same magnetic field is $2F$. Then,the ratio of potential differences $\frac{V_2}{V_1}$ is:

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $1: 4$
  • C
    $4: 1$
  • D
    $1: 2$
