Write an equation of electric potential at a point due to an electric dipole.

Two point charges $q_1 = 6 \mu C$ and $q_2 = 4 \mu C$ are kept at points $A$ and $B$ in air where $AB = 10 \ cm$. What is the increase in potential energy of the system when $q_2$ is moved towards $q_1$ by $2 \ cm$ (in $J$)?
$\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ SI units}\right)$

In the first configuration $(1)$ as shown in the figure,four identical charges $(q_0)$ are kept at the corners $A, B, C$ and $D$ of a square of side length $a$. In the second configuration $(2)$,the same charges are shifted to the midpoints $G, E, H$ and $F$ of the sides of the square. If $K = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$,the difference between the potential energies of configuration $(2)$ and $(1)$ is given by:

Two charges ${q_1}$ and ${q_2}$ are placed $30\,cm$ apart,as shown in the figure. $A$ third charge ${q_3}$ is moved along the arc of a circle of radius $40\,cm$ from $C$ to $D$. The change in the potential energy of the system is $\frac{{{q_3}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}k$,where $k$ is:
