Answer

2 cm represents 0.1 A\text{2 cm represents 0.1 A}

2 cm represents 0.2 V\text{2 cm represents 0.2 V}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Determine the range of values for each axis.

    For the x-axis (Current II): The values range from 0.12 A0.12 \, \text{A} to 0.64 A0.64 \, \text{A}.
    For the y-axis (Voltage VV): The values range from 0.00 V0.00 \, \text{V} to 1.20 V1.20 \, \text{V}.

  2. Choose a suitable scale for the x-axis.

    To comfortably fit all current values and allow for clear plotting, a scale where each major grid line represents 0.1 A0.1 \, \text{A} is appropriate.
    For example, if using graph paper where major grid lines are 2 cm2 \, \text{cm} apart:
    The x-axis scale should be 2 cm represents 0.1 A\boxed{\text{2 cm represents 0.1 A}}.
    This means each small square (1 mm) would represent 0.01 A0.01 \, \text{A}.

  3. Choose a suitable scale for the y-axis.

    To comfortably fit all voltage values and allow for clear plotting, a scale where each major grid line represents 0.2 V0.2 \, \text{V} is appropriate.
    For example, if using graph paper where major grid lines are 2 cm2 \, \text{cm} apart:
    The y-axis scale should be 2 cm represents 0.2 V\boxed{\text{2 cm represents 0.2 V}}.
    This means each small square (1 mm) would represent 0.02 V0.02 \, \text{V}.
