Working on electric dipole when deflected by an angle of 600 is given by,
W1=U=−PEcos600=−2×10−19J.
Now, work done in deflecting he dipole by another 300 is given by,
W1=−PEcos900=0
Therefore work done by the agency which deflected dipole by 300 mpore is,
W=W2−W1=0−(−2×10−19)=2×10−19J.
Hence,
option (B) is correct answer.
