9W 3V bulb need current flow
I = P/V = 9/3 = 3A

connected serially, voltage drop on the wire will be = Vsupply - 3(Vbulb) = 12 - 3(3) = 3V.

resistance of the wire ,with I=3 and V=3, = V/I = 3/3 = 1 Ohm.

In order for a 3V bulb to dissipate 9W, the current through it must be 3A.
R = E/I = 3v/3A .  The resistance of such a bulb is 1 ohm.

There are two correct answers to the question, since the question itself
is ambiguous and may be understood in two different ways (at least) ...
series and parallel.

If the three bulbs are in series and the mystery wire will be placed
in series with them, then . . . . .

-- The current everywhere in the series circuit is 3 A .
-- The resistance across the supply is  R = E/I = 12v/3A  =  4 ohms.
-- 3 of the total 4 ohms is in the bulbs.
-- The additional wire must provide the additional 1 ohm .

If the three bulbs are in parallel and the mystery wire will be placed
in series with them, then . . . . .

-- The three bulbs in parallel form an effective resistance of 1/3 ohm.
-- The voltage across the parallel section of the circuit is 3v.
-- The additional wire must drop 9 volts across itself. 
-- The total current through the 3 branches of the parallel section,
    as well as through the additional piece of wire in series with it, is 9 A.
--  The resistance of the wire must be  R = E/I  =  9v/9A = 1 ohm.

Verrry interesting ! 
Whether the bulbs are in series or in parallel,
the same 1-ohm piece of wire does the job.

What is glacier flood?<br>​
posledela

Answer:

A glacial lake outburst flood is a type of outburst flood caused by the failure of a dam containing a glacial lake. An event similar to a GLOF, where a body of water contained by a glacier melts or overflows the glacier, is called a jökulhlaup. The dam can consist of glacier ice or a terminal moraine.

To practice problem-solving strategy 22.1: gauss's law. an infinite cylindrical rod has a uniform volume charge density ρ (where
BabaBlast [244]

Let say the point is inside the cylinder

then as per Gauss' law we have

\int E.dA = \frac{q}{\epcilon_0}

here q = charge inside the gaussian surface.

Now if our point is inside the cylinder then we can say that gaussian surface has charge less than total charge.

we will calculate the charge first which is given as

q = \int \rho dV

q = \rho * \pi r^2 *L

now using the equation of Gauss law we will have

\int E.dA = \frac{\rho * \pi r^2* L}{\epcilon_0}

E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\rho * \pi r^2* L}{\epcilon_0}

now we will have

E = \frac{\rho r}{2 \epcilon_0}

Now if we have a situation that the point lies outside the cylinder

we will calculate the charge first which is given as it is now the total charge of the cylinder

q = \int \rho dV

q = \rho * \pi r_0^2 *L

now using the equation of Gauss law we will have

\int E.dA = \frac{\rho * \pi r_0^2* L}{\epcilon_0}

E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\rho * \pi r_0^2* L}{\epcilon_0}

now we will have

E = \frac{\rho r_0^2}{2 \epcilon_0 r}
