Characteristics of alternating currents — practice question

The sinusoidal current I in a resistor of resistance 450\,\Omega varies with time t as shown in Fig. 11.1. From Fig. 11.1, determine, for t = 0 to t = 30\,\text{ms},
(a)[2]

the frequency associated with the current.

(b)[1]

the average value of the current.

(c)[2]

the root-mean-square current.

(d)[2]

the energy lost in the resistor.
