    Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?

    $(A)$ If the electric field due to a point charge varies as $r^{-25}$ 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 $\left(V_B-V_A\right)$.
