A capacitor that is initially uncharged is connected in series with a resistor and an emf source with Є=120v and negligible internal resistance. Just after the circuit is completed, the current through the resistor is 8.00 mA, and the time constant for the circuit is 4.00 s

What is the current as time reaches infinity? prove mathmaticly

My questions is don't know where to start I know it has something to do with q=Q(1-e_-t/RC) but must be missing something
