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:

The net electric field at the given point $O$ due to all the four identical short electric dipoles of dipole moment $p$ each,as shown in the figure,is $\left( k = \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \right)$.

$A$ point charge $q$ of mass $m$ is suspended vertically by a string of length $l$. $A$ point dipole of dipole moment $\overrightarrow{ p }$ is now brought towards $q$ from infinity so that the charge moves away. The final equilibrium position of the system including the direction of the dipole,the angles and distances is shown in the figure. If the work done in bringing the dipole to this position is $N \times (mgh)$,where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,then the value of $N$ is. . . . . . (Note that for three coplanar forces keeping a point mass in equilibrium,$\frac{F}{\sin \theta}$ is the same for all forces,where $F$ is any one of the forces and $\theta$ is the angle between the other two forces)
