Consider the following statements regarding Wien and Debye-Falkenhagen effects :

1. In very high electric fields (E > 10⁷ V/m), an increase in conductivity is observed as the asymmetry effect disappears.
2. In very high electric fields (E > 10⁷ V/m), an increase in conductivity is observed as the electrophoretic effect disappears.
3. At high frequencies, a decrease in conductivity is observed as the electrophoretic effect disappears.
4. At high frequencies, an increase in conductivity is observed as the asymmetry effect and electrophoretic effect disappear.
