What is the effect on the magnitude of pure reactance when it is converted to susceptance?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. It is replaced by its reciprocal
Susceptance is the reciprocal of reactance, B = 1 / X. So converting reactance to susceptance replaces its magnitude with its reciprocal.
Tip: Susceptance = 1 / reactance.
