An italic capital Y, the reciprocal of impedance.
Also known as: Admittance, Complex conductance, Reciprocal impedance
Admittance is one over impedance, and it exists because parallel circuits add admittances where series circuits add impedances. Choosing the right one turns a page of fractions into a single sum.
Denotes admittance, the reciprocal of impedance, measured in siemens.
Contexts: Laboratory
Adds directly for components in parallel, which is why it is preferred over impedance in parallel network analysis.
Contexts: Laboratory
Has conductance as its real part and susceptance as its imaginary part, mirroring impedance's resistance and reactance.

An italic capital letter Y, two diagonal strokes meeting a vertical stem.
