a component of admittance, measured in siemens: it is the reciprocal of reactance
Word origin
< susceptibility + -ance
susceptance in Electrical Engineering
(səsɛptəns)
noun
(Electrical engineering: General)
Susceptance is a measure of how easy it is for alternating current to pass through a capacitance or an inductance.
While reactance is the measure of how much a circuit reacts against change in currentover time, susceptance is the measure of how much a circuit is susceptible to conducting a changing current.
The susceptance of a particular capacitor or inductor depends on the frequency.
