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 `(pi)/(3)` with the `x`-axis. If the electric field at `P` makes an angle `theta` with x-axis, the value of `theta` would be

A

`(pi)/(3)`

B

`(pi)/(3)+tan^(-1)((sqrt(3))/(2))`

C

`(2pi)/(3)`

D

`tan^(-1)((sqrt(3))/(2))`
