Hi, I was given this circuit and I have been asked to find the maximum current i that would flow in the circuit if the value Rt and Rd had very low (negligible) values. Can you help me with it?

RT is the thermistor
Rd is the decade resistance box which represents the variable resistor.
R3 and R4 are resistors of value 10 k
The resistor Rc represents a current limiting resistor.
Vs = 5V
R₁ = 10KQ
R₂ = 10KQ
D
C
A
Rc = 3300
B
