Two charges $5 \text{ nC}$ and $-2 \text{ nC}$ are placed at points $(5 \text{ cm}, 0, 0)$ and $(23 \text{ cm}, 0, 0)$ in a region of space where there is no other external field. The electrostatic potential energy of this charge system is

  • A
    $-10 \times 10^{-7} \text{ J}$
  • B
    $-5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ J}$
  • C
    $15 \times 10^{-7} \text{ J}$
  • D

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:
