Capacitive susceptance is a measure of__________?

Correct answer: C. a purely capacitive circuit's ability to pass current

  • A. reactive power in a circuit
  • B. the extent of neutralisation of reactive power in a circuit
  • C. a purely capacitive circuit's ability to pass current
  • D. a purely capacitive circuit's ability to resist the flow of current

Explanation

Capacitive susceptance is the imaginary part of admittance, with magnitude B = ωC, and indicates how readily a capacitor passes alternating current. It increases with both frequency and capacitance.
