Here are the steps for plotting the graph and determining the required values: viii. Plot a graph of V on the vertical axis and I on the horizontal axis, starting both axes from the origin (0,0). Step 1: Draw two perpendicular axes on graph paper. Label the vertical axis "V (Volts)" and the horizontal axis "I (Amperes)". Step 2: Choose a suitable scale for each axis such that the plotted points occupy at least half of the graph paper, ensuring both axes start from the origin (0,0). Step 3: Plot the experimental data points (I, V) accurately on the graph. Step 4: Draw the best-fit straight line through the plotted points. ix. Determine the slope S of the graph. Step 1: Select two points (I_1, V_1) and (I_2, V_2) that lie on the best-fit line and are as far apart as possible. Step 2: Calculate the slope S using the formula: S = (V_2 - V_1)/(I_2 - I_1) Step 3: Substitute the coordinates of the chosen points and calculate the value of S. For example, if (I_1, V_1) = (0.1 A, 0.5 V) and (I_2, V_2) = (0.5 A, 2.5 V): S = 2.5 V - 0.5 V0.5 A - 0.1 A = 2.0 V0.4 A = 5.0 VA The slope S is Value with units, e.g., 5.0 VA x. Determine the intercept C on the vertical axis. Step 1: Extend the best-fit line until it intersects the vertical (V) axis. Step 2: Read the value of V at the point where the line crosses the vertical axis. This value is the intercept C. For example, if the line crosses the V-axis at V = 0.1 V: The intercept C is Value with units, e.g., 0.1 V xi. Evaluate K = (E)/(C). Step 1: Obtain the value of E (this value is not provided in the question and is assumed to be from a previous part of the experiment). Step 2: Substitute the value of E and the determined value of C into the formula for K. For example, if E = 10 V and C = 0.1 V: K = 10 V0.1 V = 100 The value of K is Calculated value, e.g., 100 That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
