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

In the figure, the inner (shaded) region $A$ represents a sphere of radius $r_A=1$, within which the electrostatic charge density varies with the radial distance $r$ from the center as $\rho_A=k r$, where $k$ is positive. In the spherical shell $B$ of outer radius $r_B$, the electrostatic charge density varies as $\rho_{\bar{B}}=\frac{2 k}{r}$. Assume that dimensions are taken care of. All physical quantities are in their $SI$ units.
