An ac generator is connected to a device whose internal circuits are not known. We only know current and voltage outside the device, as shown below. Based on the information given, what can you infer about the electrical nature of the device and its power usage?

Someone argues that a resistor R=100 Ω run by 5 V DC heats up faster than the same resistor run by 5 Vp AC (the 5 Vp are measured as the maximum voltage of the sine wave). Is this person right or wrong? Explain.

Any physicists/engineers that can help me answer this multi-part question from my A-level physics class (Topic: AC Capacitors and Circuits).
