Calculating Instantaneous ampere value with sine

First: English is not my first language, english is also not the language in which i am studying, i hope that i've translated the terms correctly.

Okay, so i have an assignment that has not been clearly explained to me before.
I know that the effective AC value is 1A, i also know that 10 degrees sine is 0,1736.
I need to know what the instantaneous value is in mA, and also explain how i calculated it.

And i haven't got a single clue on where to begin.

Could you show me how to solve this?

If the rms current is 1A, then the peak will be 1A x √2 = 1.414A

Therefore the current (into a purely resistive load) at 10 degrees will be 1.414A x 0.1736 = 246mA

Yeah, i just figured it out. I've spent like half an hour of scratching my head and checking my calculations because i presented the data as 0,246A, which it was, but i was supposed to write 246mA.
