Whale and Kanmuro are two islands located at the Chimera archipelago. These two are separated by a distance of 19 miles. A power link is to be established between them. The power link delivers a maximum power of 612 megawatts at full capacity with an operating voltage of 504 kilovolts. Note that 1 mile is 1.5 kilometers. Solve for the current at full power capacity in kiloamperes.

The charge (0.075 yC) stored in a component in your calculator is released and flows through a resistor in 1 millionth of a second (1 x 10^-6s) . Calculate the current that flows through the resistor and use it to calculate the resistance of the resistor. The calculator is powered by 4 AAA batteries in series, each 1.5 V, so the total voltage across the resistor is 6 V. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an Ohm.
