$A$ light charged particle is revolving in a circle of radius $r$ due to the electrostatic attraction of a static heavy particle with an opposite charge. How does the magnetic field $B$ at the centre of the circle,produced by the moving charge,depend on $r$?

Two long current-carrying thin wires,both with current $I$,are held by insulating threads of length $L$ and are in equilibrium as shown in the figure,with threads making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. If the wires have mass $\lambda$ per unit length,then the value of current $I$ is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).

The figure shows a circular loop of radius $a$ with two long parallel wires (numbered $1$ and $2$) all in the plane of the paper. The distance of each wire from the centre of the loop is $d$. The loop and the wires are carrying the same current $I$. The current in the loop is in the counterclockwise direction if seen from above.

$2.$ Consider $d \gg a$,and the loop is rotated about its diameter parallel to the wires by $30^{\circ}$ from the position shown in the figure. If the currents in the wires are in the opposite directions,the torque on the loop at its new position will be (assume that the net field due to the wires is constant over the loop)

Give the answer for question $1$ and $2$.

Six point charges,each of magnitude $q$,are arranged in different manners as shown in the image. In each case,a point $M$ and a line $PQ$ passing through $M$ are shown. Let $E$ be the electric field and $V$ be the electric potential at $M$ (potential at infinity is zero) due to the given charge distribution when it is at rest. Now,the whole system is set into rotation with a constant angular velocity about the line $PQ$. Let $B$ be the magnetic field at $M$ and $\mu$ be the magnetic moment of the system in this condition. Assume each rotating charge to be equivalent to a steady current. Match the conditions in Column $I$ with the configurations in Column $II$.
Column $I$Column $II$
$(A)$ $E=0$$(p)$ Charges at corners of a regular hexagon. $M$ is the centre. $PQ$ is perpendicular to the plane.
$(B)$ $V \neq 0$$(q)$ Charges on a line perpendicular to $PQ$ at equal intervals. $M$ is the mid-point.
$(C)$ $B=0$$(r)$ Charges on two coplanar concentric rings. $M$ is the common centre. $PQ$ is perpendicular to the plane.
$(D)$ $\mu \neq 0$$(s)$ Charges at corners and mid-points of a rectangle. $M$ is the centre. $PQ$ is parallel to the longer sides.
$(t)$ Charges on two coplanar,identical rings. $M$ is the mid-point between centres. $PQ$ is perpendicular to the line joining centres.
