Which of the following is not true about electrostatic precipator?
(1) It can remove over 99 per cent particulate matter present in the exhaust from a thermal power plant
(2) Electrode wires maintained at thousand volts, which produce a corona that release electrons
(3) The protons are attached to dust particle give them a net positive charge
(4) The collecting plates attract the dust particles
Electrostatic Precipitator has
(1) An instruction of low velocity of air between the plates
(2) An instruction of high velocity of air between the plates to allow rapid fall of dust particles
(3) An instruction of no air between plates so that charge may not get disturbed
(4) Both A and C

In scrubber, exhaust is passed through
(1) A spray of water/lime
(2) A spray of electrons
(3) A spray of other harmless gases
(4) All of these
