Two electric dipoles,each of dipole moment $P$,are placed at points $A(a, 0)$ and $B(-a, 0)$ as shown in the figure. The work done in rotating both the dipoles through $90^{\circ}$ in the clockwise direction is $(E = \text{Electric field})$

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:
