Oops - voltage division across capacitor

Hello:

A list member pointed out I had the voltage division backwards
I wondered as I typed whether I had it backwards....I knew there was a
question...

Impedance (capacitive reactance) is inversely proportional to C, so larger C
would have lower Z and thus lower voltage division...

V=IX; X= 1/wC; I is equal in series components.

oops.
