"elastance" meaning in All languages combined

See elastance on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: elastances [plural]
Etymology: * From elastic + -ance. * (physics): Coined by Oliver Heaviside. There is a force–voltage electromechanical analogy in which capacitance corresponds to the inverse of a spring constant; the smaller the spring constant, the more “elastic” (yielding, flexible) the spring is. Etymology templates: {{suf|en|elastic|ance}} elastic + -ance, {{sense|physics}} (physics): Head templates: {{en-noun|~}} elastance (countable and uncountable, plural elastances)
