### Electric Dipole in an Electric Field

An electric dipole consisting of charges of magnitude \(3.10 \, \text{nC}\) separated by \(6.20 \, \mu\text{m}\) is in an electric field of strength \(1180 \, \text{N/C}\). What are:
1. (a) the magnitude of the electric dipole moment, and 
2. (b) the difference between the potential energies for dipole orientations parallel and antiparallel to \(\vec{E}\)?

#### Solution:

**(a)**

- **Number**: \(19.2 \times 10^{-21}\)
- **Units**: \(\text{C} \cdot \text{m}\)

**(b)**

- **Number**: \(22.6 \times 10^{-18}\)
- **Units**: \(\text{J}\)
