Answer

At the maximum; $t = 0$ or a $120$ amp current

Work Step by Step

At the maximum or $t = 0$ or a $120$ amp current. the voltage is zero, because the current leads voltage by $90^\circ$ in the capacitor. When the current is maximized, voltage is $1/4$ of a period behind or zero. They are therefore out of phase.
