How to solve this question 

An initially uncharged 3.17 µF capacitor and a 8.09 k2 resistor are connected in series to a 1.50 V battery that has negligible
internal resistance. What is the initial current in the circuit, expressed in milliamperes?
initial current:
mA
Calculate the circuit's time constant in milliseconds.
time constant:
ms
How much time, in milliseconds, must elapse from the closing of the circuit for the current to decrease to 2.15% of its
initial value?
elapsed time:
ms
