Dans le domaine des circuits électriques, comprendre le flux du courant est crucial. Alors que **l'impédance** sert de mesure de la résistance à ce flux, son homologue, **l'admittance**, offre une perspective complémentaire. En essence, l'admittance quantifie la facilité avec laquelle un circuit permet au courant de le traverser.
Imaginez un tuyau d'arrosage : un tuyau étroit offre une forte résistance (impédance) au flux d'eau, tandis qu'un tuyau large offre une faible résistance (haute admittance). De même, dans un circuit électrique, **l'admittance est l'inverse de l'impédance**, signifiant à quel point un circuit "admet" facilement le courant.
**L'admittance (Y) est mesurée en Siemens (S)**, du nom de l'inventeur allemand Werner von Siemens. Une valeur d'admittance plus élevée implique un chemin plus conducteur, permettant un flux de courant plus important pour une tension donnée.

Elle simplifie l'analyse des circuits en se concentrant sur la facilité du flux de courant, en particulier dans les circuits parallèles. En comprenant l'interaction entre l'admittance et l'impédance, les ingénieurs peuvent concevoir et analyser des circuits pour des performances et une efficacité optimales.

Scenario: A parallel circuit consists of a 100 Ω resistor, a 10 μF capacitor, and a 20 mH inductor. The circuit is subjected to a 1 kHz sinusoidal voltage.
Task:
**1. Admittance of each component:** * **Resistor:** Admittance (YR) = 1/R = 1/100 Ω = 0.01 S * **Capacitor:** Admittance (YC) = jωC = j(2π * 1000 Hz) * (10 * 10-6 F) = j0.0628 S * **Inductor:** Admittance (YL) = 1/(jωL) = 1/(j(2π * 1000 Hz) * (20 * 10-3 H)) = -j0.00796 S **2. Total Admittance:** In a parallel circuit, the total admittance is the sum of individual admittances: Ytotal = YR + YC + YL = 0.01 S + j0.0628 S - j0.00796 S = 0.01 S + j0.0548 S **3. Contribution of each component:** * **Resistor:** The resistor contributes a purely real admittance, indicating purely resistive behavior, allowing current flow in phase with the voltage. * **Capacitor:** The capacitor's admittance is purely imaginary and positive (j), indicating a capacitive behavior, allowing current flow leading the voltage by 90 degrees. * **Inductor:** The inductor's admittance is purely imaginary and negative (-j), indicating an inductive behavior, allowing current flow lagging the voltage by 90 degrees. The total admittance is a complex quantity, reflecting the combined effect of resistive, capacitive, and inductive components. The positive imaginary component indicates a net capacitive behavior in the circuit, with the current leading the voltage.
This chapter delves into the practical techniques used to calculate and analyze admittance in electrical circuits. The core concept revolves around the reciprocal relationship between admittance (Y) and impedance (Z): Y = 1/Z. However, the application of this simple equation varies depending on the circuit's complexity and the nature of its components.
1.1 Calculating Admittance from Impedance:
The most straightforward technique involves determining the impedance of a circuit element or network first and then calculating its admittance using the reciprocal. For example, if a circuit has an impedance Z = 3 + j4 ohms, its admittance is calculated as:
Y = 1/(3 + j4) = 1/(3 + j4) * (3 - j4)/(3 - j4) = (3 - j4)/25 = 0.12 - j0.16 Siemens
1.2 Admittance of Simple Components:
1.3 Admittance of Parallel Circuits:
One of the most significant advantages of using admittance lies in its application to parallel circuits. In parallel configurations, the total admittance is simply the sum of the individual admittances: Ytotal = Y1 + Y2 + Y3 + ... This considerably simplifies calculations compared to the more complex parallel impedance calculations.
1.4 Admittance and Node Analysis:
Admittance plays a crucial role in nodal analysis, a powerful circuit analysis technique. By expressing circuit elements in terms of admittance, the nodal equations become easier to formulate and solve, particularly in complex circuits with numerous parallel branches.
1.5 Measurement of Admittance:
While impedance is commonly measured directly using an impedance analyzer, admittance can be indirectly derived from impedance measurements through the reciprocal relationship. Advanced techniques employing network analyzers allow for direct admittance measurements in certain scenarios.

In scenarios involving transmission lines or high-frequency circuits, the lumped-element approach may be inadequate. Distributed parameter models account for the continuous distribution of capacitance and inductance along the circuit elements. These models are more complex but necessary for accurate high-frequency analysis.
2.3 Equivalent Circuit Models:
For complex circuits or devices, equivalent circuit models can simplify the representation. These models represent the complex behavior of the device as an equivalent network of simpler components, often characterized by their admittance parameters. Examples include models for transistors, operational amplifiers, and other active devices.
