To solve the problem step by step, we will first calculate the capacitive reactance (XC) and then find the RMS and peak current in the circuit. Finally, we will analyze the effect of doubling the frequency on capacitive reactance and current. ### Step 1: Calculate the Capacitive Reactance (XC) The formula for capacitive reactance is given by: \[ X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} ...
