An electric dipole of moment $\vec{p}$ is kept in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$. The angle between $\vec{p}$ and $\vec{E}$ is $30^\circ$. Calculate the work done by the field when the angle is increased to $60^\circ$.

  • A
    $\frac{pE}{2}(\sqrt{3} - 1)$
  • B
    $\frac{pE}{2}(1 - \sqrt{3})$
  • C
    $pE(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})$
  • D
    $0$
