Torque=r x Force, here force is simply qE(since this E is uniform).
Torque=rqE sin(theta), now this rq is nothing but the dipole moment p.
Torque=pE sin(theta)
Work done by the torque is given by Integration[Torque. d(theta)] with upper limit Beta(final angle) and lower limit Alpha(initial angle).
This turns out to be, Work done=p.E
Integration[sin(theta).d(theta)] with the same limits of integration as stated above.
