The bob of a simple pendulum has mass $2\,g$ and a charge of $5.0\,\mu C$. It is at rest in a uniform horizontal electric field of intensity $2000\,V/m$. At equilibrium,the angle that the pendulum makes with the vertical is (take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(2.0)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(0.2)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(5.0)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(0.5)$
