  • A
    is minimum
  • B
    is maximum
  • C
    equal to $S_2$ but less than $S_4$
  • D
    equal for all surfaces

Select the correct statement$(s)$.
$(1)$ The tangent drawn at any point on an electric field line gives the direction of the force acting on a positive charge at that point.
$(2)$ The normal drawn at any point on an electric field line gives the direction of the force acting on a positive charge at that point.
$(3)$ Electric field lines start from a negative charge and end on a positive charge.
$(4)$ Electric field lines start from a positive charge and end on a negative charge.

$A$ point charge causes an electric flux of $-2 \times 10^4 \ Nm^2 C^{-1}$ to pass through a spherical Gaussian surface of $8.0 \ cm$ radius,centred on the charge. The value of the point charge is: (Given $\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2 N^{-1} m^{-2}$)

The figure shows electric field lines due to a charge configuration. From this,we conclude that:
