Answer:

R + 6 ohms

Explanation:

The current is the same in all three resistors

i = 2 amps

The problem is that the total voltage is unknown.

R = r

R1 =3 ohms

R2 = 3 ohms

The voltage drop is E = I*R

I = 2 amps

R1 = 3 ohms

E = 3*2 = 6 volts

The second 3 ohm resistor also has 6 volts across it.

The total is 12 volts so far. But we know nothing more on how to solve for R.

All you can say is that the total resistance = R + 6 ohms

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = $47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2$

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

$E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

$E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$
