To find the work done by the electric field when an electric dipole is turned from an angle of \( \theta = 0^\circ \) to \( \theta = 60^\circ \), we can use the formula for the work done on a dipole in a uniform electric field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Dipole Moment and Electric Field**: - The electric dipole moment \( \vec{p} \) is defined as \( \vec{p} = q \cdot \vec{d} \), where \( q \) is the charge and \( \vec{d} \) is the separation vector between the charges. - The electric field \( \vec{E} \) is uniform and acts on the dipole. ...
