Final answer:

The peak current through an inductor is 15.5 mA when connected to an AC source with a peak voltage of 0.90 V is approximately 0.909 A. The correct answer is d) None of these

Step-by-step explanation:

The peak current through an inductor can be found using the formula:

Ipeak = Vpeak / XL

Where

Ipeak is the peak current

Vpeak is the peak voltage

XL is the reactance of the inductor.

Since the reactance of an inductor is given by XL = 2πfL, where f is the frequency and L is the inductance

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the peak current:

Ipeak = Vpeak / (2πfL)

Substituting the given values: Vpeak = 0.90 V, f = 60 Hz, and L = 7.0 mH (convert to H by dividing by 1000), we can calculate:

Ipeak = 0.90 V / (2π * 60 Hz * 7.0 * 10-3 H)

Ipeak ≈ 0.909 A

Therefore, the correct answer is d) None of these options as none of them match the calculated value.
