"elastance" meaning in All languages combined

See elastance on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: elastances [plural]
Etymology: * 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.
