In this chapter, most examples and problems involved direct current (DC). DC circuits have the current flowing in one direction, from positive to negative. When the current was changing, it was changed linearly from I=ImaxtoI=+Imax and the voltage changed linearly from V=Vmax to V=+Vmax where Vmax=ImaxR .Suppose a voltage source is placed in series with a resistor of R = 10 that supplied a current that alternated as a sine wave, for example, I(t)=(3.00A)sin(24.00st) . (a) What would a graph of the voltage drop across the resistor V(t) versus time look like? (b) What would a plot of V(t) versus I(t) for one period look like?

Check Your Understanding Circuit breakers in a home are rated in amperes, normally in a range from 10 amps to 30 amps, and are used to protect the residents from harm and their appliances from damage due to large currents. A single 15-amp circuit breaker may be used to protect several outlets in the living room, whereas a single 20-amp circuit breaker may be used to protect the refrigerator in the kitchen. What can you deduce from this about current used by the various appliances?
