The binding energy of nucleons in a nucleus can be affected by the pairwise Coulomb repulsion. Assume that all nucleons are uniformly distributed inside the nucleus. Let the binding energy of a proton be $E_b^p$ and the binding energy of a neutron be $E_b^n$ in the nucleus.

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

$(A)$ $E_b^p-E_b^n$ is proportional to $Z(Z-1)$ where $Z$ is the atomic number of the nucleus.

$(B)$ $E_b^p-E_b^n$ is proportional to $A^{-\frac{1}{3}}$ where $A$ is the mass number of the nucleus.

$(C)$ $E_b^p-E_b^n$ is positive.

$(D)$ $E_b^p$ increases if the nucleus undergoes a beta decay emitting a positron.
