- $6$
- $3 \, \bar{3}$
- $3(2 - \bar{3})$
- $3$

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Work done, $ W =-MB_{\mu} (1 - \cos \, \theta)$
$ = 20 \times 0.3 (1- \cos \, 30^{\circ})$
$ = 6 \, 1 - \frac{\bar{3}}{2} = 3 \, 2 - \bar{3} $
$ = 20 \times 0.3 (1- \cos \, 30^{\circ})$
$ = 6 \, 1 - \frac{\bar{3}}{2} = 3 \, 2 - \bar{3} $

Top Questions on Electric Dipole
- A small electric dipole \(\bar{P_0}\), having a moment of inertia I about its center, is kept at a distance r from the center of a spherical shell of radius R. The surface charge density \(\sigma\)is uniformly distributed on the spherical shell. The dipole is initially oriented at a small angle 𝜃 as shown in the figure. While staying at a distance r, the dipole is free to rotate about its center.If released from rest, then which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

Concepts Used:
Electric Dipole
An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite point charges -q and q, separated by a distance of 2a. The direction from q to -q is said to be the direction in space.
p=q×2a
where,
p denotes the electric dipole moment, pointing from the negative charge to the positive charge.
