Answer

$t = 3.56\times 10^{-4}~s$

Work Step by Step

We can rewrite the expression for the current: $i = (1.60)~sin~(2500 t+0.680)$ The current will reach a maximum when $~~sin~(2500 t+0.680) = 1$ We can find $t$: $sin~(2500 t+0.680) = 1$ $2500 t+0.680 = \frac{\pi}{2}$ $2500 t = \frac{\pi}{2}- 0.680$ $t = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}- 0.680}{2500}$ $t = 3.56\times 10^{-4}~s$
