  • A
    The divergence of leaves will not be affected
  • B
    The leaves will diverge further
  • C
    The leaves will collapse
  • D

Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?
$(A)$ If the electric field due to a point charge varies as $r^{-2.5}$ instead of $r^{-2}$,then the Gauss law will still be valid.
$(B)$ The Gauss law can be used to calculate the field distribution around an electric dipole.
$(C)$ If the electric field between two point charges is zero somewhere,then the sign of the two charges is the same.
$(D)$ The work done by the external force in moving a unit positive charge from point $A$ at potential $V_A$ to point $B$ at potential $V_B$ is $(V_B - V_A)$.
