Consider a very long cylinder of radius $a$ having a uniform positive charge density $\rho$. A sphere of radius $a$ has been carved out (see figure), leaving no charge in that region. The distance radially outward to the cylinder, as measured from the center of the sphere is $x$. At what value of $x$ will the electric field be maximum?

Consider two point charges $+q$ and $+2 q$ fixed on the $x-y$ plane at $(-\ell / 2,0)$ and $(+\ell / 2,0)$ respectively. Another point charge $-q$ having mass $m$ is released from rest at $(0,(\sqrt{3} / 2) \ell)$ on the $x y$ plane, as shown in the figure The permittivity of free space is $\epsilon_0$. What is the acceleration of the charge $-q$ at the time of release?

Consider an infinite one-dimensional wire carrying a uniform current $I$ as shown in the figure. A square loop of side $a$ is initially placed such that the center of the loop is at a distance $R$ from the wire, where $R>\frac{a}{2}$. The square loop is then moved rightwards with a uniform speed as shown in the figure. What is the induced emf in the loop as a function of time $t$ ?
