To solve the problem of finding the work done in rotating a dipole by an angle of π in an electric field, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Configuration**: - We have a dipole with a dipole moment \(\vec{p}\) placed in an electric field \(\vec{E}\). - Initially, the dipole moment and the electric field are in the same direction. Thus, the angle \(\theta_1\) between \(\vec{p}\) and \(\vec{E}\) is \(0^\circ\). ...
