Detailed Solution

Given data: according to the diagram, each 2μC is located at the vertices of a right-angled triangle. ForcesF1 and F2 are applied to the charge at B as a result of the charge at A and C , respectively.

Concept used:  Electric field and electric field lines.

Detailed solution: 

Question Image

If the F1 and F2 makes an angle θ with force F2.

 tan(θ)=F1F2

 F1=k·q1q232 

 q1=q2=q3=2μC 

 F2=kq1q342 

 tan(θ)=kq1q2/32kq1q3/42=4232=169 

 θ=tan-1169
