Problem

The current in a circuit varies with time according to I(t)=2t AI(t)=2t\,\text{A}, where tt is in seconds. If the current passes through a 4.0 Ω4.0\,\Omega resistor, determine the potential difference across the resistor at t=3.0 st=3.0\,\text{s}. (a) 12 V12\,\text{V} (b) 36 V36\,\text{V} (c) 24 V24\,\text{V} (d) 18 V18\,\text{V}
