The tension in the thread is, T = 0.784 N.

Explanation:

Given values in the question  :

        A Mass Pendulum Bob = 80 mg

                                  Charge = 2 × 10^-^8 C

        Horizontal electric field = 20 kVm^-^1

From the balance of concomitant force,        

                          \frac{T}{\sin 90^{\circ}}=\frac{q . E}{\sin (180-\alpha)}=\frac{m g}{\sin (90+\alpha)}

                                T=\frac{q \cdot E}{\sin \alpha}=\frac{m g}{\cos \alpha}

                              \frac{q \cdot E}{m g}=\frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha}

                            \tan \alpha=\frac{q \cdot E}{m g}

                            \tan \alpha=\frac{2 \times 10^{-8} \times 20 \times 10^{3}}{80 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.81}

                             \tan \alpha=\frac{40 \times 10^{-5}}{784.8 \times 10^{-3}}

                             \tan \alpha=\frac{40 \times 10^{-2}}{784.8}        

                              \tan \alpha=0.0509 \times 10^{-2}

                              \tan \alpha=5.09 \times 10^{-4}

                                    \alpha=\tan ^{-1}\left(5.09 \times 10^{-4}\right)

                                     \alpha=\tan ^{-1} 0.000509

                                     \alpha=0.292

As we know that ,

                            T=\frac{m g}{c o s \alpha}

                            T=\frac{0.080 \times 9.81}{\cos 0.292}

                            T=\frac{0.784}{0.999}

                             T=0.784 \mathrm{N}

Thus, the tension is, T = 0.784 N.
