Question: The voltage V produced by an ac generator is sinusoidal. As a function of time, the voltage V is V(t) = V 0 sin(2 ft)
The voltage V produced by an ac generator is sinusoidal. As a function of time, the voltage V is
V(t) = V0 sin(2π ft)
where f is the frequency, the number of complete oscillations (cycles) per second. [In the United States and Canada, f is 60 hertz (Hz).] The power P delivered to a resistance R at any time t is defined as
![[V(t)]² P(t) = R](https://dsd5zvtm8ll6.cloudfront.net/si.question.images/images/question_images/1547/8/2/5/6735c41f209449871547855220154.jpg)
(a) Show that

(b) The graph of P is shown in the figure. Express P as a sinusoidal function.
![[V(t)] P(t) = R P(t) sin(2ft).](https://dsd5zvtm8ll6.cloudfront.net/si.question.images/images/question_images/1547/8/2/5/7585c41f25e6013d1547855305295.jpg)
(c) Deduce that

[V(t)] P(t) = R P(t) sin(2ft).
