Two opposite and equal charges when placed
away, form a dipole. If this dipole is placed in an external electric field
, the value of maximum torque and the work done in rotating
it through will be
As we have learned
Work done in rotation -
- wherein
Dipole moment p = 4 ´ 10–8´ 2 ´ 10–4 = 8 ´ 10–12m
Maximum torque = pE = 8 ´ 10–12´ 4 ´ 108
= 32 ´ 10–4Nm
Work done in rotating through 180o = 2pE
= 2 ´ 32 ´ 10–4 = 64 ´ 10–4J
