Answer:

The current is
I = 4.2 \ A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The voltage of battery is
V = 25 V

The capacitance of capacitor is
C = 15 \mu F

The resistance of the resistor is
R = 6 \Omega

Generally the current at the instant the capacitor starts charging is


I = (V)/(R)

substituting values


I = (25)/(6)


I = 4.2 \ A
