An electric dipole is placed along the $x$-axis at the origin $O$. $A$ point $P$ is at a distance of $20 \, cm$ from this origin such that $OP$ makes an angle $\frac{\pi}{3}$ with the $x$-axis. If the electric field at $P$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,the value of $\theta$ would be

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