$A$ molecule of a substance has a permanent dipole moment $p$. $A$ mole of this substance is polarized by applying a strong electrostatic field $E$. The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of $60^{\circ}$. If $N$ is the Avogadro's number,the amount of work done by the field is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} N p E$
  • B
    $N p E$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2} N p E$
  • D
    $2 N p E$

An electric dipole with dipole moment $\vec{p}_i = (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) \times 10^{-30} \, \text{C-m}$ is placed in an electric field $\vec{E} = 4000 \hat{i} \, \text{N/C}$. An external agent turns the dipole slowly until its electric dipole moment becomes $\vec{p}_f = (-4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \times 10^{-30} \, \text{C-m}$. The work done by the external agent is equal to:
