In the circuit shown,initially there is no charge on capacitors and keys $S_1$ and $S_2$ are open. The values of the capacitors are $C_1=10 \mu F$,$C_2=30 \mu F$,and $C_3=C_4=80 \mu F$.
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 $10 V$.
