elastance
An electrical property that is the inverse of capacitance.
Noun
- An electrical property that is the inverse of capacitance.
- The inverse of compliance.
- A measurement of the tendency of the lung, urinary bladder, gallbladder or other cavity to recoil inwards.
Antonyms: compliance
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.
