Five charges \(q_1, q_2, q_3, q_4~\text{and}~q_5\) are fixed at their positions as shown in the figure, \(S\) is a Gaussian surface. The Gauss' law is given by \(\int_{S}E\cdot dS= \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\). Which of the following statements is correct?
| 1. | \(E\) on the LHS of the above equation will have contribution from \(q_1, q_5~\text{and}~q_3\) while \(q\) on the RHS will have a contribution from \(q_2~\text{and}~q_4\) only. |
| 2. | \(E\) on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while \(q\) on the RHS will have a contribution from \(q_2~\text{and}~q_4\) only. |
| 3. | \(E\) on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while \(q\) on the RHS will have a contribution from \(q_1, q_3~\text{and}~q_5\) only. |
| 4. | Both \(E\) on the LHS and \(q\) on the RHS will have contributions from \(q_2\) and \(q_4\) only. |
