AI Generated Solution

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 1: Understand the potential energy of the dipole The potential energy \( U \) of an electric dipole in a uniform electric field \( E \) is given by the formula: \[ U = -\vec{p} \cdot \vec{E} = -pE \cos \theta \] where \( p \) is the dipole moment, \( E \) is the electric field strength, and \( \theta \) is the angle between the dipole moment and the electric field. ...
