AI Generated Solution

To determine the angle between the dipole moment and the electric field at which an electric dipole remains in stable equilibrium in a uniform electric field, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Configuration**: - An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance. The dipole moment (\( \vec{P} \)) is a vector pointing from the negative charge to the positive charge. 2. **Identifying the Electric Field**: ...
