  • 2(a)[3]

    V = 0.2

    I = 0.28

    cm, V, A

  • 2(b)[4]

    graph:

    axes correctly labelled and right way round

    suitable scales

    all plots correct to 1

    2 small square

    good line judgement, thin, continuous line

  • 2(c)(i)[1]

    conclusion matching readings (expect I constant)

  • 2(c)(ii)[1]

    justification to match (i) with reference to results expect I values very close / equal

  • 2(d)[2]

    method shown clearly on graph

    VL correct to 1

    2 small square
