   Admittance
   In electrical engineering, the `admittance` (`Y`) is the inverse of the impedance (`Z`). The SI unit of admittance is the siemens. Oliver Heaviside coined the term in December 1887. :Y = Z^ = 1/Z , where Note that the synonymous unit mho, and the symbol ℧ , are also in common use. Then as :Z = R + jX , :Y = Z^= frac = left( frac ight) cdot left( frac ight) = left( frac ight) + jleft(frac ight) Admittance, just like im...

    admittance
    (Y) The reciprocal of the impedance. Admittance (Y) consists of two components, the conductance (G) and the susceptance (B). The relationship between Y, G, and B is expressed in complex form as follows: Y = G - iB. (1) The relationship between...
