However, it isoften simpler to deal with scalar rather than vector functions of
position, and then to derive the vector quantities at the end if necessary (see
below). 1.5 Another Equation of Electrostatics and the Scalar Potential The single

Suppose that initially the electric field E0 due to a certain distribution of charges
po(x) exists in a medium of dielectric constant so which may be a function of
position. The initial electrostatic energy is Wo = 1 Jr. • Dodox 87 where Do =
eoEo.

This well-known result for the potential energy of a dipole shows that the dipole
tends to orient itself parallel to the field in the position of lowest potential energy.
We remark in passing that (5.73) is not the total energy of the magnetic moment
