The following diagram shows the working of an electrostatic precipitator. Identify the correct statement:
| 1. | A negative voltage ionizes the air around the wire that in turn ionizes the particles in the air stream. |
| 2. | They are able to remove about 75% of the particulate matter present in the exhaust from a thermal power plant. |
| 3. | The velocity of air between the plates must be rapid enough to allow electrostatic precipitation of the dust particles. |
| 4. | PM 2.5 dust particles are more easily removed by the electrostatic precipitator than larger sized particulate matter. |
