Question

ldMapping (thus 3. How much work is required to turn an electric dipole 180° in a uni magnitude 43.9 N/C if p 3.53 x 1025 C-m and the initial angle is 38.4 iform electric field of much work is required to turn an electric dipole 180° in a uniform electric field of magnitude 30.1 N/C if p 1.99 x 1025 C-m and the initial angle is 69.9. 5. A certain electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field of magnitude 73 N/C. The figure gives the magnitude of the torque on the dipole versus the angle between field and the dipole moment. The vertical axis scale is set by t, 134 x 102 N-m. What is the magnitude of the dipole moment

Explanation / Answer

3. PE = - p E cos(theta)

Work done = - p E (cos218.4 - cos38.4)

= 1.567 pE

= 1.567 x 3.53 x 10^-25 x 43.9

= 2.43 x 10^-23 J


4. PE = - p E cos(theta)

Work done = - p E (cos(180 + 69.9) - cos69.9)

= 0.687 pE

= 0.687 x 1.99 x 10^-25 x 30.1

= 4.12 x 10^-24 J  


5. torque = p E sin(theta)

134 x 10^-28 = p x 73

p = 1.84 x 10^-28 C m
