A molecule of a substance has a permanent electric dipole moment of magnitude `10^(-29)` C m. A mole of this substance is polarized at low temperature by appling a strong elecrostatic field of magnitude `10^(6) V m^(-1)`. The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of `60^(@)`. Estimate the heat released by the substance in aligning its dipole along the new direction of the field. For simplicity, assume 100% polarisation of sample.
