Assume that the circuit in Problem 6 is powered by a 60 Hz AC source instead of the DC source. Determine the total capacitive reactance, X_c, seen by the AC source.
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
