Whwn is the potential energy of electric dipole (i) maximum (ii) minimum in uniform electric field? Share with your friends Share 5 Neha Gupta answered this Potential energy of dipole is gievn by" U = -P.E = -PEcosθwhen angle between the dipole and field is zero degree then potential energy is minimumwhen angle between then is 180 degree then potential energy is maximum. 13 View Full Answer R S Prasobh Sankar answered this Potential energy is maximum when dipole moment is anti parallel the the direction of EF ( condition is called unstable equilibrium ) and minimum when dipole moment is parallel to the EF ( Stable Equilibrium ) . Hope that helps. 9
