A \(15.0~{\mu \text F}\) capacitor is connected to a \(220~\text {V},\) \(50~\text {Hz}\) source. If the frequency is doubled, what happens to the capacitive reactance and the current?

1. The capacitive reactance is halved and the current is doubled.
2. The capacitive reactance is doubled and the current is halved.
3. The capacitive reactance remains the same and the current is doubled.
4. The current remains the same and the capacitive reactance is halved.
