O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/11/M/J/25

Explanation
Insufficient information to determine combined resistance
Steps:
- Identify components: thermistor at 10°C in series with 20Ω fixed resistor.
- Recall series formula: total R = R_thermistor + R_fixed.
- Note missing data: thermistor resistance at 10°C not provided.
- Conclude: cannot calculate total without thermistor value.
Why D is correct:
- Not applicable; no calculation possible due to missing thermistor resistance.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Assumes thermistor resistance of -4Ω, impossible for resistors.
- B: Ignores thermistor, only fixed resistor value.
- C: Assumes thermistor of 60Ω, but no basis for this.
Not enough information.
Final answer: Not enough information.
