An electric dipole is placed along the x-axis at the origin O.A point P is at a distance of 20 cm from this origin such that OP makes an angle π/3 with the x-axis. If the electric field at P makes an angle θ with the x-axis, the value of θ would be
A
B
+ tan –1 
C
D
tan –1 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
