  • 2(a)(i)[3]

    V1 = 2.4

    I1 = 0.50

    V, A

  • 2(a)(ii)[1]

    R1 = (4.8) in Ω

  • 2(b)[1]

    RS = 9.29 or 9.3 stated to 2 / 3 sf

  • 2(c)[1]

    RP = 2.42

  • 2(d)[2]

    Resistors in parallel

    Voltmeter and ammeter correctly placed, all symbols correct

  • 2(e)[2]

    Use another resistor

    Add at least three more resistors (one at a time)

  • 2(f)[1]

    Correct symbol for variable resistor
