CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2006 · Paper 2 · Question 1(b)(i)

When the switch is connected to Q, discharge occurs following I = I_0 e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}. Use data from the discharge graph to complete Table 1 and plot a graph of \ln I against t on the provided grid.

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