about 10 A
The rms value of an alternating current is equivalent to the constant current. So, the heating effect produced is actually measured in terms of the rms value, in case of alternating current. The constant current is, thus, equal to the rms value of alternating current, which is given by,
`Irms = Ipeal = 1/sqrt2 = 14/(A 9.9 )≈ 10A`
