CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2013 · Paper 2 · Question 1(c)(i)

An ammeter is inserted at Y to monitor current I and a voltmeter monitors terminal voltage V_T as R1 is adjusted, yielding the data in Table 1.

Use the results in Table 1 to plot a graph of I against V_T on the grid provided.

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