Answer

$(21+i)$ volts.

Work Step by Step

$I=(2-3i)$ amperes and $R=(3+5i) ohms$. The formula is $\Rightarrow E=IR$. Substitute the values. $\Rightarrow E=(2-3i)(3+5i)$. Use the FOIL method. $\Rightarrow E=6+10i-9i-15i^2$. Use $i^2=-1$. $\Rightarrow E=6+10i-9i+15$. Add like terms. $\Rightarrow E=21+i$. Hence, the value of $E$ is $(21+i)$ volts.
