If the DC source is replaced by an AC source, the circuit would appear as follows:

As computed in Problem 6, the combined or net capacitance contributed to the circuit by the parallel and series network of capacitors is C_{EQ} = 4.44 μF. Then, by applying Eq.1.26:

X_c=\frac{1}{ωC}=\frac{1}{2πfC}

where
f = Frequency = 60 Hz
C_{EQ} = 4.44 μF

X_c=\frac{1}{ωC}=\frac{1}{2πfC}=\frac{1}{2(3.14)(60)(4.44×10^{-6})}= 597  Ω
