Susceptance

In electrical engineering, the susceptance (B) is the imaginary part of the admittance. In SI units, the susceptance is measured in siemens

where

Y is the admittance, measured in siemens

G is the conductance, measured in siemens

B is the susceptance, measured in siemens.

The admittance (Y) is the inverse of the impedance (Z)

where

Z is the impedance, measured in ohms

R is resistance, measured in ohms

X is the reactance, measured in ohms.

Note: The susceptance is NOT the inverse of the reactance.

The magnitude of admittance is given by:
