When a dipole placed parallel to electric field is rotated through $\pi^c$, the work done is $W$. The work done in rotating the dipole through $(\frac{\pi}{3})^c$ is $(\cos 0^\circ = 1, \cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}, \cos 180^\circ = -1)$

  • A
    $\frac{W}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{W}{2}$
  • C
    $W$
  • D
