CAPE Physics Unit 1 · May/June 2025 · Paper 2 · Question 3(g)(i)

A student recorded saturated vapour pressure of water in air at various temperatures as shown in Table 4.

Plot a graph of saturated vapour pressure, P, versus temperature, T, on the grid provided in Figure 3, and draw a smooth curve through the points.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
