A point electric dipole of moment $$p1$$→$$=(3i^+j^)$$ is held fixed at the origin. Another point electric dipole of moment $$p2$$→ held at the point $$A(+a$$, $$0$$, $$0)$$ will have minimum potential energy, if its orientation is given by the vector

Question

A  point electric dipole of moment $$p1$$→$$=(3i^+j^)$$      is held fixed at the  origin. Another point electric dipole of moment $$p2$$→      held at the point  $$A(+a$$, $$0$$, $$0)$$ will have minimum potential energy, if its orientation is given  by the vector

For minimum P.E on P→  it should be held along the direction ofelectric field at that $$pointEaxil=+2k(3P)a3$$  $$Eequi=kPa3$$θ$$=$$$$tan$$−$$1(EequiEaxial)=kPa32k3Pa3=$$$$tan$$−$$1($$−$$123)Eequal$$  is ‘$$-ve$$’ due to opposite direction of P∴  direction of dipole $$23i$$−$$j^$$

A point electric dipole of moment $\vec{p_{1}} = (\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + \hat{j})$ is held fixed at the origin. Another point electric dipole of moment $\vec{p_{2}}$ held at the point A(+a, 0, 0) will have minimum potential energy, if its orientation is given by the vector
