- | Let's start with segment 1. The power dissipated through the segment is just $$P_1=I_1 \Delta V_1 = 5 \text{ W}$$ | + | Let's start with segment 1. The electric field is constant since the wire is uniform with respect to the rest of the segment, so we get $$E_1 = \frac{\Delta V_1}{L_1} = 0.5 \text{ V/m}$$ |
