QAIPMT-2006-Ph-2453: NEET 2006 Physics - Class 12 AIPMT-2006-Ph-2453 Solution: An electric dipole of moment \( {p}\) is lying along a uniform…

An electric dipole of moment p⃗\vec{p} is lying along a uniform electric field E⃗\vec{E}. The work done in rotating the dipole by 90∘90^\circ is

Multiple Choice Options

  • A pEpE
  • B 2pE\sqrt{2}pE
  • C pE/2pE/2
  • D 2pE2pE

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Work done in deflecting a dipole through an angle _ is given by W = � 0 _ p E sin _ _ d _ = p E ( 1 _ cos _ _ ) Since _ = 90� _ W = pE(1 � cos90�) _ W = pE
