AP Physics C: E&M
11.3 Resistance, Resistivity, and Ohm’s Law
11.1 Electric Current

In Scenario 1, a potential difference \(V_0\) is applied across the opposite faces perpendicular to the interface such that current flows parallel to the interface.
In Scenario 2, the same potential difference \(V_0\) is applied across the opposite outer faces parallel to the interface such that current flows perpendicular to the interface.
What is the ratio \(\dfrac{E_{1,1}}{E_{1,2}}\) of the electric field magnitude in the slab of resistivity \(\rho_1\) in Scenario 1 to that in Scenario 2?
