1. A two-wire d.c. distributor AB, 600 metres long is loaded as distance from A (metres) : 150m, 300m, 350m,
450m and Loads in Amperes : 100A, 220A, 230A, 300A. The feeding point A is maintained at 440 V and that
of B at 430 V. If distributor resistance of 0·02 Ω per 100 metres. Examine:
(i) the currents supplied from A to B.
(ii) (ii) the power dissipated in the distributor.
(iii) (iii) Point of Minimum potential

2. Two tram cars A and B 2 km and 8 km away from a sub-station return 40 A and 20 A respectively to the rails.
The sub-station voltage is 600 V d.c. The resistance of trolley wire and track is 0·28 Ω/km. Examine the voltage
across each tram car.
