NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

A molecule of a substance has permanent dipole moment \(p\). A mole of this substance is polarised by applying a strong electrostatic field \(E\). The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of \(60^{\circ} .\) If \(N\) is the Avogadro's number the amount of work done by the field is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}NpE\)
  2. B \(NpE\)
  3. C \(\;\frac{3}{2}NpE\)
  4. D \(2NpE\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{2}NpE\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((\vec{U})=-\vec{p} \cdot \vec{E}=-p E \cos \theta\) \(W=\Delta U\)
