-The current through a capacitor is always maximum at the start of the first time constant.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the start of the first time constant, the voltage across a capacitor is changing most rapidly, which results in the maximum current flow through the capacitor according to the relationship I=C(dV/dt), where I is the current, C is the capacitance, and dV/dt is the rate of change of voltage across the capacitor.
