elastivity1890
1890 W. P. Maycock Pract. Electr. Notes (ed. 2) 48 Elastance is the reciprocal (or reverse) of Permittance; the comparative elastance of a dielectric is called its elastivity. For instance, a dielectric of great permittance has little elastance and vice versâ.
1890 Electrician 14 Nov. 41 The use of the words decalescence, reluctancy, reluctivity, elastance, elastivity, permittivity, might be well deferred till they are more generally adopted.
1893 O. Heaviside Electromagn. Theory I. ii. §31. 29 The formal relation of reluctance to reluctivity with magnetic force and induction, is the same as that..of elastance to elastivity with electric force and displacement.
