Question:

Susceptance of 10mH inductor at 10 Hz?

How would I calculate this answer?Thanks ahead for al your help!

Answer:

what is susceptance? you give a value of an inductor and a frequency so the ONLY answer I can give is it's reactance (or impedance) zWL (WOmega) 2*pi*10e-3*10 0.62831853 Ohms
Hmmmif the prior answerer had only known or bothered to look up the meaning of susceptance In this case, it is easy to calculate impedance: Z(10 hZ) j*0.010 H * 2 * pi * 10 j0.6283 ohm. Alas, susceptance is just the imaginary (complex) part of the reciprocal of impedance. Thus, susceptance, jB Im{1/Z} -j1.59155 mhos (or siemens) Note that we distinguish susceptance from conductance, as the imaginary and real parts respectively, though obviously an inductor would have some real resistance, and thus some real conductance.
