An electric dipole of dipole moment $\vec P$ is lying along a uniform electric field $\vec E$ . The work done in rotating the dipole by $90^o$ is
A
$2pE$
B
$pE$
C
$\sqrt 2\, pE$
D
$\frac{{pE}}{2}$
Solution
$\mathrm{U}=-\mathrm{pE} \cos \theta$
$\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{i}}=-\mathrm{pE} \quad \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{f}}=0 \quad \mathrm{W}=\Delta \mathrm{U} \Rightarrow \mathrm{W}=\mathrm{pE}$
