admittance
the inverse of impedance. usually denoted as “y” in electrical equations, or 1/z, z being impedance. the unit value of admittance is commonly dubbed “mhos” (backwards spelling of ohms.) it is a measure of the lack of impedance in a circuit, system of circuits or a specific conductor. a short circuit should, ideally, have an admittance of infinity. an open circuit will have an ideal admittance of 0 mhos.
z = 10 ohms
y = 1/z = 1/10 = 0.1 mhos
student 1: what’s admittance?
student 2: i don’t know. i just use 1/z.
student 1: oh ok.
