A voltage divider of 50 ohms is 2 p 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 of the source. If a current of 4 A flows towards the load, what is the current supplied by the source?

Question
A voltage divider of 50 ohms is 2 points
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 of the source. If a
current of 4 A flows towards
the load, what is the current
supplied by the source?
(Remember, a voltage divider
is a network of resistors that
are connected in series the
purpose of which is to divide a
voltage into each of the
resistors.)
