For a short dipole placed at origin $O$,the dipole moment $P$ is along the $x$-axis,as shown in the figure. If the electric potential and electric field at point $A$ (at distance $r$ on the $x$-axis) are $V_0$ and $E_0$,respectively,then the correct combination of the electric potential and electric field,respectively,at point $B$ (at distance $2r$ on the $y$-axis) is given by

  • A
    $\frac{V_0}{2}$ and $\frac{E_0}{16}$
  • B
    zero and $\frac{E_0}{8}$
  • C
    zero and $\frac{E_0}{16}$
  • D
    $V_0$ and $\frac{E_0}{4}$

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:
