Question

An electric field of 1000V/m is applied to an electric dipole at angle of 45o. The value of electric dipole moment is 1029C.m. What is the potential energy of the electric dipole?
  1. 9×1020J
  2. 7×1027J
  3. 10×1029J
  4. 20×1018J

A
9×1020J
B
7×1027J
C
10×1029J
D
20×1018J
Solution
Verified by Toppr

U=PE
=PEcosθ
=(1029)(103)cos45o
=0.707×1026J
=7×1027J.
