An ideal voltage divider consists of only R1, R2, and the voltage source in series with each other. In practical use, the terminals of the divider has a stray capacitance Cs, making the circuit frequency dependent. The compensating capacitance C1 is added to the circuit to make V2/V1 independent of the frequency again. Determine the value of the compensating capacitance C1 in terms of R1, R2, and CS
