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 follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Work Done by Electric Field**: The work done \( W \) by the electric field when an electric dipole is rotated in a uniform electric field can be expressed in terms of the change in potential energy. The formula for the work done is given by: \[ W = -\Delta U ...
