A particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is kept at the top of a fixed frictionless sphere. $A$ uniform horizontal electric field $E$ is switched on. The particle looses contact with the sphere, when the line joining the center of the sphere and the particle makes an angle $45^o$ with the vertical. The ratio $\frac{qE}{mg}$ is :-

$m g \cos \theta-q E \sin \theta=\frac{m v^{2}}{R}$ .........$(1)$
Applying work energy theorem
$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=m g R(1-\cos \theta)+q E R \sin \theta$ ........$(2)$
Solving $(1)$ and $(2)$
$\frac{q E}{m g}=\frac{3-2 \sqrt{2}}{3}$
