The correct answer is: 2.2 A

Given that E=440sin100πt, L=2πH

Angular frequency of the source is ω=100π rad s-1.

Now the reactance of the inductor will be,

XL=ωL=100π2π=1002 Ω

Therefore, the peak current I0=E0XL=4401002=2.22 A

AC ammeter reads RMS value therefore reading will be Irms 

Irms=I02=2.2 A
