Characteristics of alternating currents — practice question

The way the sinusoidal current $I$ varies with time $t$ in a resistor of resistance $450\,\Omega$ is shown in Fig. 11.1. Use the information in Fig. 11.1 to determine, over the interval from $t = 0$ to $t = 30\,\text{ms}$.
(a)[2]

the current's frequency.

(b)[1]

the mean current value.

(c)[2]

the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) current.

(d)[2]

the energy transferred in the resistor.
