for Figure 2.



(d) A lab assistant is required to construct an electric circuit to switch ON a lamp. He needs a 35 k
resistor in order to complete the circuit. However there only have a 10 k, 20 k and 50 k
resistors are available in his lab.

i. Suggest the minimal combination of resistance value that can be used in order to
replace this 35 k resistor and shows the calculation involved.

ii. Draw the final circuit using the new combination resistors as mentioned in (i) .
