Answer

(a) $I_0 = 4.0~A$ (b) $I_0 = 4.0~A$ (c) $I_0 = 4.0~A$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the current: $I_0 = \frac{emf_0}{R} = emf \cdot \omega~C$ (a) If the capacitance is doubled then the peak current is increased by a factor of $2$ $I_0 = 4.0~A$ (b) If the peak emf is doubled then the peak current is increased by a factor of $2$ $I_0 = 4.0~A$ (c) If the frequency is doubled then the peak current is increased by a factor of $2$ $I_0 = 4.0~A$
