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 $(V_B - V_A)$.

Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges of $10\ \mu C$ and $-20\ \mu C$ respectively and are placed at a distance $R$ from each other,experiencing a force $F_1$. If they are brought in contact and then separated to the same distance,the new force between them is $F_2$. Find the ratio $F_1 : F_2$.
