Two electric dipoles, each of dipole moment ' \(P\) ' are placed at points \(A(a, 0)\) and \(B(-a, 0)\) as shown in the figure. The work done in rotating both the dipoles through \(90^{\circ}\) in clockwise direction is
\((E=\text { Electric field })\)

  1. A PE
  2. B Zero
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{PE}\)
  4. D \(\frac{P E}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) PE

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work done due to dipole, \(\mathrm{W}=-\mathrm{p} E \cos \theta\) Here \(\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{W}_{90}-\mathrm{W}_0\) \(=(-\mathrm{PE} \cos 90)-(-\mathrm{pE} \cos 0)=\mathrm{PE}\)
