An electric dipole of dipole moment ' \(p\) ' is aligned parallel to a uniform electric field ' \(E\) '. The energy required to rotate the dipole by \(90^{\circ}\) is \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}\sin 0^{\circ}=0, & \sin 90^{\circ}=1 \\ \cos 0^{\circ}=1, & \cos 90^{\circ}=0\end{array}\right]\)

  1. A pE
  2. B \(\mathrm{pE}^2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{p}^2 \mathrm{E}\)
  4. D infinity
Verified Solution
