Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the frequency is given by $$f=\dfrac{1}{T}$$ where $T$ from the given graph is 0,04 s. $$f=\dfrac{1}{0.04}=\color{red}{\bf 25}\;\rm Hz$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ According to Ohm's law, $$V_R=IR$$ so, the resistance is $$R=\dfrac{V_R}{I}$$ At $t=0$ s, from the given graph, $$R=\dfrac{10}{0.5}=\color{red}{\bf 20}\;\rm \Omega$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [c]}$$ We know that the emf is given by $$\varepsilon=\varepsilon_0\cos\phi $$ where $$\phi=\omega t=2\pi f t=2\pi (25)(0.015) =\bf \dfrac{3\pi}{4}\;\rm rad$$ Converting to degrees, $$\phi = \frac{3\pi}{4}\;\rm rad\times \dfrac{180^\circ}{\pi\;\rm rad}=\bf 135^\circ$$ This is the phase angle for both the voltage and the current at $t=15$ ms which means that the current and the voltage across the resistor are in phase. So, $$\varepsilon=\varepsilon_0\cos\phi=10\cos135^\circ=\bf-7.07 \;\rm V$$ And hence, $$I=I_0\cos135^\circ=0.5\cos135^\circ=\bf -0.354\;\rm A$$ See the figure below.
