Answer :
Answer:
a. dW = ā«pEsinĪødĪø b. W = p.E
Explanation:
a. We know torque Ļ = p Ć E = pEsinĪø where Īø is the angle between p and E
Let the torque Ļ rotate the dipole by an amount dĪø. So, the workdone dW = ā«ĻdĪø = ā«pEsinĪødĪø
b. So, the total work done is gotten by integrating from 90 to Īø. So,
W = ā«āāā°dW
= ā«āāā°pEsinĪødĪø
= pEā«āāā°sinĪødĪø
= pE(cosĪø - cos90)
=pEcosĪø
= p.E
