Three identical capacitors $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu F$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $C_1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0 = 8 \ V$. First,the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged,$S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium,the charge on $C_3$ is found to be $5 \mu C$. The value of $\varepsilon_r = . . . . $

Which of the statement$(s)$ is/are correct?
$(1)$ The key $S_1$ is kept closed for a long time such that capacitors are fully charged. Now key $S_2$ is closed. At this time,the instantaneous current across the $30 \Omega$ resistor (between points $P$ and $Q$) will be $0.2 A$.
$(2)$ If key $S_1$ is kept closed for a long time such that capacitors are fully charged,the voltage difference between points $P$ and $Q$ will be $10 V$.

$(4)$ If key $S_1$ is kept closed for a long time such that capacitors are fully charged,the voltage across the capacitor $C_1$ will be $4 V$.
