A person's susceptibilities are feelings which can be easily hurt. I am well aware that in saying this I shall outrage a few susceptibilities. = sensibilities
Causing malfunction of a circuit by electromagnetic interference from external sources See EMC
If you have a susceptibility to something unpleasant, you are likely to be affected by it. his increased susceptibility to infections. = vulnerability
{i} vulnerability; emotional sensitivity; inability to resist a particular external influence, impressionability
A measure of the degree to which a substance may be magnetized It is a ratio k of the intensity of magnetization I to the causative magnetic field H It is typically expressed in micro cgs units for oil and gas exploration work Susceptibility has been shown to be proportional to the volume percentage of magnetite contained in a rock Susceptibility contrast is the susceptibility difference between two rocks or geologic bodies See Density Contrast
