For an $A.C.$ current $I = 100 \sin(200 \pi t)$,after what time does the current reach its maximum value?

The effective value ($RMS$ value) of the current $i = 2\sin(100\pi t) + 2\sin(100\pi t + 30^\circ)$ is:

The $r.m.s.$ value of an $AC$ of $50 \ Hz$ is $10 \ A$. The time taken by the alternating current in reaching from zero to maximum value and the peak value of current will be:
