[5] From the linear graph: gradient = [3] C = [3] DISCUSSION: 1. From your graph, is the charging of the capacitor truly exponential? Give a reason for your answer. [2] 2. Would the method used above be suitable to determine the capacitance of a capacitor that has a value of about luF? Justify your answer. [2)
