Answer

(a) $I_0 = 20~mA$ (b) $I_0 = 20~mA$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the peak current: $I_0 = \omega ~C~\epsilon_0 = 2\pi~f ~C~\epsilon_0$ (a) If the emf frequency $f$ is doubled then the peak current increases by a factor of $2$ $I_0 = 20~mA$ (b) If the peak emf $\epsilon_0$ is doubled then the peak current increases by a factor of $2$ $I_0 = 20~mA$
