Problem

Assertion: A charged particle is moving in a circle with constant speed in a uniform magnetic field. If the speed of the particle is increased to twice its value, its acceleration becomes four times. Reason: In a circular path of radius rr with constant speed vv, acceleration is given by v2r\frac{v^2}{r}.
