There exists a non-uniform electric field along the $x-$ axis as shown in the figure below. The field increases at a uniform rate along the $+ve$ $x-$ axis. $A$ dipole is placed inside the field as shown. Which one of the following is correct for the dipole?

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:
