Without changing the voltage or frequency of the generator, a second capacitor (capacitance C2) is added in series with the first one. As a result, the current delivered by the generator decreases by a factor of 5.00. Suppose the second capacitor had been added in parallel with the first one, instead of in series. By what factor would the current delivered by the generator have increased? Note: The ac current and voltage are rms values and power is an average value unless indicated otherwise.arrow_forward
