Answer:
W = 1/2 x P x E
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
- P = electric dipole moment
- E = uniform electric field
- α = initial angle
- β = final angle
Formula
- The work done in a electric field can be found using the formula :
- W = P x E x (cosα - cosβ)
Solving
- W = P x E x (cos0° - cos60°)
- W = P x E x (1 - 1/2)
- W = 1/2 x P x E
