elastance
elas·tance
noun
1.
the reciprocal of capacitance
Origin
* 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.
