Question
An electric dipole of moment p is placed in the position of stable equilibrium in uniform electric field of intensity E. If it is rotated through an angle θ from the initial position, the potential energy of electric dipole in the final position is
Options:
A .  pE cosθ
B .  pE sinθ
C .  pE(1−cosθ)
D .  −pE cosθ
Answer: Option D
:
D
Potential energy of dipole in electric field is U=pEcosθ; where θ is the angle between electric fieldand dipole moment vector.
