1. A potential divider of a resistance of 50 ohms is connected across a 100 V DC source. A load resistance of 10 ohms is connected across a tap in the potential divider and the negative terminal of the source. If a current of 4 A flows towards the load, what is the current supplied by the source in Amperes?

You’re working on a new high-speed rail system. It uses 6000-horsepower electric locomotives, getting power from a sin-gle overhead wire with resistance 15 mΩ/km, at 25 kV potential relative to the track. Current returns through the track, whose resistance is negligible. Energy-efficiency standards call for no more than 3% power loss in the wire. How far from the power plant can the train go and still meet this standard?
