An electric train runs between two sub- stations 6 km apart maintained at voltages 600 V and 590 V respectively and draws a constant current of 300 A while in motion. The track resistance of go and return path is 0.04 Q/km. Calculate : (i) the point along the track where minimum potential occurs (ii) the current supplied by the two sub- stations when the train is at the point of minimum potential.

Question
An electric train runs between two sub-
stations 6 km apart maintained at
voltages 600 V and 590 V respectively and
draws a constant current of 300 A while in
motion. The
track resistance of go and return path is 0.04
Q/km. Calculate :
(i) the point along the track where minimum
potential occurs
(ii) the current supplied by the two sub-
stations when the train is at the point of
minimum
potential.
