### Problem Statement

An AC generator with \(E_m = 229 \, \text{V}\) and operating at \(405 \, \text{Hz}\) causes oscillations in a series RLC circuit having \(R = 222 \, \Omega\), \(L = 151 \, \text{mH}\), and \(C = 24.3 \, \mu\text{F}\). 

Find:
- (a) the capacitive reactance \(X_C\),
- (b) the impedance \(Z\),
- (c) the current amplitude \(I\).

A second capacitor of the same capacitance is then connected in series with the other components. Determine whether the values of:
- (d) \(X_C\),
- (e) \(Z\), and
- (f) \(I\) increase, decrease, or remain the same.

### Diagram Description

The diagram shows a series RLC circuit with the following components:
- An AC generator symbolized by a circle with a sine wave inside.
- A resistor \(R\) represented by a zigzag line.
- An inductor \(L\) represented by a coiled symbol.
- A capacitor \(C\) represented by two parallel lines.

These components are connected in series, and the current \(i\) flows through each component.

### Input Fields

There are input fields provided for answers:
- (a) Capacitive reactance \(X_C\)
- (b) Impedance \(Z\)
- (c) Current amplitude \(I\)

### Drop-down Selections

For parts (d) through (f), drop-down selections are available to choose between "increase," "decrease," or "remain the same."

This exercise aims to apply concepts related to AC circuits, particularly in calculating reactance, impedance, and analyzing changes in circuit behavior with added components.
