Answer

$i = 1.0\times 10^{-3}~A$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that $q_0 = 1.0\times 10^{-3}~C$ We can find the current through the resistor at $t= 0$: $i = (\frac{q_0}{RC})~e^{-t/RC}$ $i = (\frac{q_0}{RC})~e^{-0/RC}$ $i = \frac{q_0}{RC}$ $i = \frac{1.0\times 10^{-3}~C}{(1.0\times 10^6~\Omega)(1.0\times 10^{-6}~F)}$ $i = 1.0\times 10^{-3}~A$
