The torque acting on dipole and Potential energy are respectively –
A
in anticlockwise direction and + 
PE Joule
B
in anticlockwise direction and + 
PE Joule
C
in anticlockwise direction and – 
PE Joule
D
None
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Torque = PE sin θ = PE sin 150 = 
in anticlockwise direction
Potential energy = – PEcos150 = + PE sin 60
= + PE × 
Joule
