Final answer:

In an AC circuit, the peak value of the current is calculated by multiplying the RMS current by the square root of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an AC circuit, the peak value of the current can be calculated using the equation:

Peak Current = RMS Current x √2

Given that the RMS value of the current is 100 mA, the peak value of the current can be calculated as:

Peak Current = 100 mA x √2 = 100 mA x 1.414 = 141.4 mA (approximately)

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 141 mA.
