Definition, Meaning & Synonyms
susceptance
noun
[səˈsɛp.təns]
Definition
Susceptance is a measure of how easily a circuit or component can conduct an alternating current.
Examples
- The susceptance of the circuit increased when the capacitor was introduced.
- Calculating susceptance helps engineers design more efficient AC systems.
- High susceptance indicates a low reactance in the circuit.
Meaning
It is often used in electrical engineering and electronics to express the capacity of a system to allow the passage of AC relative to its voltage and reactive components.
Synonyms
- Conductance
- Admittance
- Capacitance
