Derive the formula for the electric potential energy of a system of two point charges.

Electric potential at an equatorial point of a small dipole with dipole moment $P$ ($r$,distance from the dipole) is

An electric dipole is formed by two charges $+q$ and $-q$ located in the $xy$-plane at $(0, 2) \text{ mm}$ and $(0, -2) \text{ mm}$,respectively,as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $P(100, 100) \text{ mm}$ due to the dipole is $V_0$. The charges $+q$ and $-q$ are then moved to the points $(-1, 2) \text{ mm}$ and $(1, -2) \text{ mm}$,respectively. What is the value of the electric potential at $P$ due to the new dipole?

Two charges $+3.2 \times 10^{-19} \, C$ and $-3.2 \times 10^{-19} \, C$ kept $2.4 \, \mathring{A}$ apart form a dipole. If it is kept in a uniform electric field of intensity $4 \times 10^5 \, V/m$,what will be its electrical potential energy in stable equilibrium?

$A$ dipole having dipole moment $p$ is placed in front of a solid uncharged conducting sphere as shown in the diagram. The net potential at point $A$ lying on the surface of the sphere is :-
