Editing Susceptibility (section)

==Physics and engineering==
In physics the '''susceptibility''' is a quantification for the change of an [[Intensive and extensive properties#Extensive properties|extensive property]] under variation of an [[Intensive and extensive properties#Intensive properties|intensive property]]. The word may refer to:

* In [[physics]], the susceptibility of a material or substance describes its response to an applied field. For example:
** [[Magnetic susceptibility]]
** [[Electric susceptibility]]
* The two types of susceptibility above are examples of a [[linear response function]]; sometimes the terms ''susceptibility'' and ''linear response function'' are used interchangeably.
*In [[electromagnetic compatibility]] (EMC), susceptibility is the sensitivity of a device's function to incoming electromagnetic interference
