Question

Find the potential energy of an electric dipole (length 4 cm) each experiences a torque of $4 \sqrt{3}$ Nm placed in a from electric field angle $60^{\circ} q = 1 + n c .$

Solution

Given,

Torque, $τ = 4 \sqrt{3} N a t 60^{o}$

$τ = \to p \times \to E = 4 \sqrt{3}$

$p E sin 60^{o} = 4 \sqrt{3}$

$p E = 8 N m . . . . . . . (1)$

Potential Energy.

$U (θ) = p E (cos θ_{0} - cos θ_{1})$

$U (60^{o}) = 8 (cos 0^{o} - cos 60^{o}) = 4 J$

Hence, potential energy is $4 J$
