Question

An electric dipole of dipole moment $\overrightarrow{P}$ is placed in a uniform electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ such that $\overrightarrow{P}$ is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{E}$ . The work done to turn the dipole through an angle of 180⁰ is-

Answer 1

Solution

W = U_f – U_i = – pE × 270 – (–pE cos 90⁰ ) = 0
