Answer

(a) $I_L = 1.0~A$ (b) $I_L = 4.0~A$ (c) $I_L = 1.0~A$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the peak current: $I_L = \frac{\epsilon_0}{L~\omega}$ (a) If the inductance is doubled then the peak current is decreased by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ $I_L = 1.0~A$ (b) If the peak emf $\epsilon_0$ is doubled then the peak current is increased by a factor of $2$ $I_L = 4.0~A$ (c) If the frequency $\omega$ is doubled then the peak current is decreased by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ $I_L = 1.0~A$
