AI Generated Solution

To determine the orientation of an electric dipole in a uniform electric field that corresponds to stable equilibrium, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electric Dipole**: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance. The dipole moment \( \mathbf{P} \) is a vector quantity that points from the negative charge to the positive charge. 2. **Electric Field Representation**: ...
