After two time constants of time have elapsed, the current in the circuit is how many times the final current?

?I think you need to clarify, as I have no idea what you're talking about.

You're going to need to show at least some kind of effort to solve this. Tell me, what's a time constant? When do we use it in a circuit?
 
Does this involve caps and time dependent analysis? Or can you clue me in as to the subject or topic of this question?
