Electrical Engineering ⇒ Topic : Capacitive susceptance

Capacitive susceptance (B_c). Just as inductive susceptance is the reciprocal of inductive reactance (i.e. B_L= 1/X_L), similarly, capacitive susceptance is the reciprocal of capacitive reactance i. e.

Like conductance (G) and inductive susceptance (B_L), the unit of capacitive susceptance is siemen (S). The capacitive susceptance of a purely capacitive circuit is its ability to pass cun-ent through it. The greater the capacitive susceptance (i.e. the smaller the capacitive reactance) of a purely capacitive circuit, the greater is its ability to pass cun-ent through it and vice-versa
