The electric field due to an electric dipole at a distance $r$ from its centre in the axial position is $E$. If the dipole is rotated through an angle of $90^{\circ}$ about its perpendicular axis,the electric field at the same point will be

The potential at a point due to an electric dipole will be maximum and minimum when the angles between the axis of the dipole and the line joining the point to the dipole are respectively:

When three electric dipoles are near each other,they each experience the electric field of the other two,and the three-dipole system has a certain potential energy. The figure below shows three arrangements $(1)$,$(2)$,and $(3)$ in which three electric dipoles are side by side. All three dipoles have the same magnitude of electric dipole moment,and the spacings between adjacent dipoles are identical. If $U_1$,$U_2$,and $U_3$ are potential energies of the arrangements $(1)$,$(2)$,and $(3)$ respectively,then:
