### Educational Content: Circuit Analysis Problem

#### Problem Description
(a) In the figure, what value must \( R \) have if the current in the circuit is to be \( 1.3 \, \text{mA} \)? Take \( \mathcal{E}_1 = 2.7 \, \text{V} \), \( \mathcal{E}_2 = 5.3 \, \text{V} \), and \( r_1 = r_2 = 3.9 \, \Omega \). 

(b) What is the rate at which thermal energy appears in \( R \)?

#### Instructional Diagram
The diagram shows a circuit with two voltage sources (\( \mathcal{E}_1 \) and \( \mathcal{E}_2 \)) and their respective internal resistances (\( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \)). Both sources are connected in series with an additional resistor \( R \). 

#### Diagram Details
- **\( \mathcal{E}_1 \)**: Voltage source 1, \( 2.7 \, \text{V} \)
- **\( \mathcal{E}_2 \)**: Voltage source 2, \( 5.3 \, \text{V} \)
- **\( r_1 \)**: Internal resistance of source 1, \( 3.9 \, \Omega \)
- **\( r_2 \)**: Internal resistance of source 2, \( 3.9 \, \Omega \)
- **\( R \)**: Resistor \( R \) (unknown)
- Current in the circuit: \( 1.3 \, \text{mA} \)

#### Questions
1. **(a):** Determine the value of resistor \( R \) in ohms (\(\Omega\)).
2. **(b):** Calculate the rate at which thermal energy appears in resistor \( R \).

#### Answer Inputs
(a) 
- **Number** [Input box]
- **Units** [Drop-down menu]

(b)
- **Number** [Input box]
- **Units** [Drop-down menu]

This educational content aims to help students understand how to analyze simple circuits with series components and calculate relevant electrical properties. Use Ohm's Law and series resistor rules to solve these problems.
