An electric dipole of moment P is placed along the direction of electric field E. The work done in deflecting the dipole through 180° is equal to

  1. A PE
  2. B +2PE
  3. C -2PE
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) +2PE

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( W = PE(\cos\theta_1 - \cos\theta_2) \) \( W = PE(\cos 0^\circ - \cos 180^\circ) \) \( W = PE(1 - (-1)) = 2PE \)
