An electric dipole of moment \(\vec {p} \) is lying along a uniform electric field \(\vec{E}\). The work done in rotating the dipole by \(90^{\circ}\) is:
1. \(\sqrt{2}pE\)
2. \(\dfrac{pE}{2}\)
3. \(2pE\)
4. \(pE\)

A dipole (\(p\)) is placed so that it is always aligned along the x-axis but it can undergo displacement along the x-axis. The dipole is placed exactly midway between two fixed charges \(-Q\) and \(Q,\) in two possible ways.
                            
Then, the dipole is:
1. stable in both A, B
2. stable in A, unstable in B
3. unstable in A, stable in B
4. unstable in both A, B
