I'm studying for the final classification of amateur radio licensing which is the Extra class and it's the hardest one. A lot of this test covers electrical engineering math and whatnot. Can someone tell me why reactance is measured with “j” as in -jX for capacitance and jX for inductance? Seems weird to have a variable as a final figure
Any electrical engineers here?

Why? I get that susceptance is an imaginary part of admittance but why use a dif character? Is it so it's not confused with current?

My degree mostly deals with applied physics (rather than theory), so…kinda sorta?
