Out of the following molecules,which one represents a polar molecule?

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:

When a test charge is brought in from infinity along the perpendicular bisector of an electric dipole,the work done is ..........

$A$ rigid dipole undergoes a simple harmonic motion about its centre in the presence of an electric field $\vec{E}_1 = E_0\hat{i}$. If another electric field $\vec{E}_2 = 2E_0(\hat{j} + \hat{k})$ is introduced to the system, what will be the percentage change in the frequency of the oscillation (approximate) (in $\%$)?
