$A$ molecule of a substance has a permanent electric dipole moment of magnitude $10^{-29} \; C \; m$. $A$ mole of this substance is polarized (at low temperature) by applying a strong electrostatic field of magnitude $10^{6} \; V \; m^{-1}$. The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of $60^{\circ}$. Estimate the heat released (in $J$) by the substance in aligning its dipoles along the new direction of the field. For simplicity,assume $100 \%$ polarization of the sample.
