उत्तर
Torque,
Potential energy,
\[\frac{\tau}{U} = \frac{\left( Ql \right)E\sin\theta}{- \left( Ql \right)E\cos\theta} = - \tan\theta\]
\[ \Rightarrow U = - \frac{\tau}{\tan\theta}\]
\[ \Rightarrow U = - \frac{\tau}{\tan {60}^o}\]
\[ \Rightarrow U = - \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow U = - 6 J\]
