E5B02
What letter is commonly used to represent susceptance?
- A.G
- B.X
- C.Y
- D.B (correct answer)
WhySusceptance is commonly represented by the letter B. Susceptance is commonly represented by the letter B, the imaginary counterpart to conductance (G) within admittance, just as reactance (X) is the imaginary counterpart to resistance (R) within impedance, answer D. G represents conductance, X represents reactance, and Y represents admittance itself, none of which is the specific symbol used for susceptance.
