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?

A conducting sphere of radius $a$ initially contains a uniform volume charge density $\rho$. What is the electric flux $\Phi$ through a spherical surface of radius $2 a$ centered at a point on the surface of the charged sphere (see figure) at a later time $t$ ? ( $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.)

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?

A particle of charge $q=1 e$ and mass $m$ with kinetic energy $K$ enters an electric field set up by two parallel plates of length $l$ as illustrated in the figure. The potential difference between the two plates is 1 V and their separation is $d$. What is the minimum value of $K$ (in eV ) for which the particle will not hit either of the plates? [ $e$ is the charge of the electron.]
