Four resistors, R1 = 100 ohms, R2 = 250 ohms, R3 = 350 ohms, and R4 = 200 ohms are connected such that the parallel combination of R1 and R2 is connected in series with the parallel combination of R3 and R4. The series-parallel combination is then connected across a 24-V DC power supply. Find the current through R4, 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?
