An electric dipole is placed along the $x$-axis with its center at the origin. The line $OP$ makes an angle of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ with the $x$-axis. If the electric field at point $P$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,then $\theta$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{3} + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{2\pi}{3}$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$

An electric dipole of moment $p$ is placed at the origin along the $x$-axis. The electric field at a point $P$,whose position vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,will make an angle $\phi$ with the $x$-axis. If $\tan \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \tan \theta$,where $\alpha$ is the angle between the electric field vector and the position vector,then the angle $\phi$ that the electric field makes with the $x$-axis is:
