The initial voltage across the capacitor would be 0V (uncharged). The initial current would be limited by the resistance (R) and the supply voltage (10V) just like any other RC circuit, (I = 10/R amps) but as C is infinitely large (infinite time constant) the voltage across its plates will never rise and remain at 0V. The circuit will effectively act as a voltage source (10V) …
