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. 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
