Three identical charges,each $2 \mu C$,lie at the vertices of a right-angled triangle as shown in the figure. Forces on the charge at $B$ due to the charges at $A$ and $C$ respectively are $F_1$ and $F_2$. The angle between their resultant force and $F_2$ is

  • A
    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{9}{16}\right)$
  • B
    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{9}{7}\right)$
  • C
    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{16}{9}\right)$
  • D
    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{7}{9}\right)$
