If one of the two electrons of a $H_{2}$ molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecular ion $H_{2}^{+}$. In the ground state of an $H_{2}^{+}$, the two protons are separated by roughly $1.5 \; Å,$ and the electron is roughly $1 \; Å$ from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of the zero of potential energy. (in $; eV.$)

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:
