$A$ tiny $0.50\, g$ ball carries a charge of magnitude $10\, \mu C$. It is suspended by a thread in a downward electric field of intensity $300\, N/C$. If the charge on the ball is positive,then the tension in the string is

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-3}\,N$
  • B
    $8 \times 10^{-3}\,N$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-3}\,N$
