In a railway system with a power source of 600 VDC, I need to achieve a load output of 120 VDC for railway lights. I found a DC-DC converter capable of stepping down 600 VDC to 125 VDC. To obtain 120 VDC from this converter, we can use a voltage divider with the following equation: [R2/(R2+R1)]=120/125=0.96=0.96However, using resistors to achieve the desired output voltage raises some concerns. Is it advisable to use railway-grade resistors for this application? I found some resistors in the range of 1-10k ohms, but I am unsure how they should be connected in the circuit with the lights (the load to be used). I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or schematic diagrams to clarify the best approach for connecting the resistors in this setup.

Now let's try using a pack of AA batteries (1.2 V output voltage and 0.2 Ohm internal resistance each) to replace the lead-acid battery. In order to match the car lead-acid battery, first, 10 such AA batteries need to be connected in series to form a 12V cell, while 50 such cells need to be connected in parallel (as shown in picture above; the total of 500 AA batteries are used). Find the power that is supplied to the same "car starter" using this pack of AA batteries. (Hint: for the second question, you need to find the total voltage and the internal resistance of the whole pack; you also need to find the resistance of the "car starter"; this can be done using the data of the first part of this problem)
