An italic capital B, the imaginary part of admittance.
Also known as: Susceptance, Imaginary admittance, Capacitive susceptance
Susceptance is to admittance what reactance is to impedance, and it collides head-on with magnetic flux density, also a capital B. In a text covering both AC circuits and magnetism the two appear within pages of one another.
Denotes susceptance, the imaginary component of admittance, measured in siemens.

Is not simply the reciprocal of reactance: inverting a complex impedance mixes its real and imaginary parts, so B depends on R as well as X.

Collides directly with magnetic flux density, also written with a capital B.
