Elastance

 * ... that the term elastance (the inverse of capacitance) was coined by Oliver Heaviside to promote an analogy of a capacitor as a spring rather than a container of charge? Source: Yavetz, pp.150–151, Howe, p.60
 * Reviewed: Lurgrotte
 * Comment: Would also have qualified for x5 expansion if nominated prior to the GA process

 * Symbol question.svg Made GA recently enough, new enough, long enough, article within policy - well sourced, no neutrality or copyvio issue detected. QPQ done.
