Problem

The current in a resistor is given by I(t)=4.0 t AI(t)=4.0\,t\,\text{A} for the time interval 0≤t≤2.5 s0\le t\le2.5\,\text{s}, where tt is in seconds. The resistance of the resistor is 6 Ω6\,\Omega and its temperature remains constant. (a) Write an expression for the instantaneous potential difference across the resistor as a function of time. (b) Find the potential difference at t=2.0 st=2.0\,\text{s}. (c) Calculate the instantaneous electrical power being dissipated at t=2.0 st=2.0\,\text{s}.
