Explanation / Answer

the time constant for a rc circuit is given by

T = R x C

so T = 155 x 55.8 x 10-6

T = 8.649 ms

so the time constant is 8.649 milli seconds

maximum charge   q = CV

q= 55.8 x 10-6 x 12

q= 669.6 x 10-6 columb

initial current i = V/R

i = 12 /155

i = 0.0774 A

so the initial current is 0.0774 A
