Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \({\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {0.5} \right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tan \theta=\frac{\mathrm{qE}}{\mathrm{mg}}=\frac{5 \times 10^{-6} \times 2000}{2 \times 10^{-3} \times 10}\)

\(\tan \theta=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \theta=\tan ^{-1}(0.5)\)
