Impedance of circuit
$Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_{L}\right)^2}=\sqrt{R^2+\left(\omega_{L}\right)^2} $
$=\sqrt{(100 \pi)^2+(2 \pi \times 50 \times 1)^2} $
$=\sqrt{(100 \pi)^2+(100 \pi)^2} $
$=\sqrt{2} \times 100 \pi $
$I_{rms}=\frac{V}{2}=\frac{100 \pi}{\sqrt{2} \times 100 \pi}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} $
$I_{\max }=\sqrt{2} I_{rms}=\sqrt{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=1 \text { Ampere }$
