(ăd-mĭt'ns) pronunciation
n.
  1. The act of admitting or entering.
    1. Permission to enter.
    2. Right of entry. See Usage Note at admission.
  2. (Symbol Y) Electricity. The reciprocal of impedance.

The ratio of the current to the voltage in an alternating-current circuit. In terms of complex current I and voltage V, the admittance of a circuit is given by Eq. (1), and is related to the impedance of the circuit Z by Eq. (2). Y is a complex number given by Eq. (3).
1. Y = {I\over V}

2. Y = {1\over Z}

3. Y = G + jB
G, the real part of the admittance, is the conductance of the circuit, and B, the imaginary part of the admittance, is the susceptance of the circuit. The units of admittance are called siemens or mhos (reciprocal ohms). See also Conductance; Susceptance.
