Given data:
Inductance, L = 44 mH = 44 × 10⁻³ H
Voltage, V = 220 V
Frequency, f = 50 Hz

Step 1: Calculate the inductive reactance (X_L)
Inductive reactance is given by the formula:

X_L = 2πfL

Substituting the values:

X_L = 2 × 3.1416 × 50 × (44 × 10⁻³)
X_L = 13.82 Ω

Step 2: Calculate the rms current (I_rms)
Using Ohm’s law for AC circuits:

I_rms = V_rms / X_L

I_rms = 220 / 13.82

I_rms ≈ 15.92 A

Final Answer: The rms value of the current in the circuit is approximately 15.92 A.
