Question
A dipole p = 6 × 10â»â¹ C m is rotated from θ = 0° to 90° in a field E = 3 × 10âµ N/C . What is the work done?
Explanation
Given:
A dipole p = 6 × 10â»â¹ C m is rotated from θ = 0° to 90° in a field E = 3 × 10âµ N/C . What is the work done?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Work done: W = p E (cos θ_0 - cos θ_1) = 6 × 10â»â¹ × 3 × 10ⵠ× (cos 0° - cos 90°).
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
W = 6 × 10â»â¹ × 3 × 10ⵠ× (1 - 0) = 1.8 × 10â»Â³ J .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
