Question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about a thermistor circuit. Part 2 is about vibrations and waves.
Part 1 Thermistor circuit
The circuit shows a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor X and a 100kΩ100 \mathrm{k} \Omega fixed resistor R connected across a battery.

Figure for Question 1 — IB Physics SL

The battery has an electromotive force (emf) of 12.0 V and negligible internal resistance.

D has mass 6.5×10−3 kg6.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg} and vibrates with amplitude 0.85 mm .

Determine the total energy of D .
