When plugged into a standard outlet in the United States, a toaster oven uses 1600 W att of power (on average). (a.) On a power (watt) vs. time (seconds) graph, plot the power used by the toaster oven. For full points, your graph must use every tick mark, must show two cycles and must label both the time and peak current values. Assume that t = 0 corresponds to a time when the power is at its maximum value. (b.)...
