For those seeking for the answer, its a source of electrical energy.
What gas? Gas is an invisible form so I don't see how it would have a "defined structure".
Answer:

Explanation:
Given that,
The instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by :

We need to find the rms value of the current.
The general equation of current is given by :

It means, 
We know that,

So, the rms value of current is 2.12 A.
