Consider the following statements about electric dipole and select the correct ones.

S1: Electric dipole moment vector p is directed from negative charge to positive charge.

S2: The electric field of a dipole at a point with position vector r depends on r as well as the angle between r and p.

S3: The electric dipole potential falls off as 1r2 and not as 1r.

S4: In a uniform electric field, the electric dipole experiences no net forces but a torque τ=p×E.

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths l, are initially at a distance d dl apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity v. Then v varies as a function of the distance x between the spheres, as:

Assertion: When the electric flux through a closed surface is zero then the net charge inside the surface must be zero.

Reason: When the net charge inside a closed surface is zero then electric field at every point of the Gaussian surface must be zero.
