Expert Answer
This is the most stable configuration of an electric dipole in a uniform electric field. The length of the dipole makes 0 0with the electric field.
The potential energy of the dipole at this position is,
U = - p . E = -pE cos0 = -pE
Which is the minimum potential energy of an electric dipole.
The potential energy of the dipole at this position is,
U = p . E = pE cos0 = pE
Which is the maximum potential energy of an electric dipole
