Positive :: Positive (n.) The positive plate of a voltaic or electrolytic cell.

Zincoid :: Zincoid (a.) Pertaining to, or resembling, zinc; -- said of the electricity of the zincous plate in connection with a copper plate in a voltaic circle; also, designating the positive pole..

Voltaism :: Voltaism (n.) That form of electricity which is developed by the chemical action between metals and different liquids; voltaic electricity; also, the science which treats of this form of electricity; -- called also galvanism, from Galvani, on account of his experiments showing the remarkable influence of this agent on animals..

Catelectrode :: Catelectrode (n.) The negative electrode or pole of a voltaic battery.

Voltaic :: Voltaic (a.) Of or pertaining to Alessandro Volta, who first devised apparatus for developing electric currents by chemical action, and established this branch of electric science; discovered by Volta; as, voltaic electricity..

Voltage :: Voltage (n.) Electric potential or potential difference, expressed in volts..

Calorimotor :: Calorimotor (n.) A voltaic battery, having a large surface of plate, and producing powerful heating effects..

Couple :: Couple (a.) One of the pairs of plates of two metals which compose a voltaic battery; -- called a voltaic couple or galvanic couple.

Electro-motion :: Electro-motion (n.) The motion of electricity or its passage from one metal to another in a voltaic circuit; mechanical action produced by means of electricity.

Rheophore :: Rheophore (n.) A connecting wire of an electric or voltaic apparatus, traversed by a current..

Thermovoltaic :: Thermovoltaic (a.) Of or relating to heat and electricity; especially, relating to thermal effects produced by voltaic action..

Voltameter :: Voltameter (n.) An instrument for measuring the voltaic electricity passing through it, by its effect in decomposing water or some other chemical compound acting as an electrolyte..

Voltagraphy :: Voltagraphy (n.) In electrotypy, the act or art of copying, in metals deposited by electrolytic action, a form or pattern which is made the negative electrode..

Voltatype :: Voltatype (n.) An electrotype.

Negative :: Negative (n.) The negative plate of a voltaic or electrolytic cell.

Glyphography :: Glyphography (n.) A process similar to etching, in which, by means of voltaic electricity, a raised copy of a drawing is made, so that it can be used to print from..

Electro-tint :: Electro-tint (n.) A style of engraving in relief by means of voltaic electricity. A picture is drawn on a metallic plate with some material which resists the fluids of a battery; so that, in electro-typing, the parts not covered by the varnish, etc., receive a deposition of metal, and produce the required copy in intaglio. A cast of this is then the plate for printing..

Pillar :: Pillar (n.) The center of the volta, ring, or manege ground, around which a horse turns..

Volta-electric :: Volta-electric (a.) Of or pertaining to voltaic electricity, or voltaism..

Magnetomotor :: Magnetomotor (n.) A voltaic series of two or more large plates, producing a great quantity of electricity of low tension, and hence adapted to the exhibition of electro-magnetic phenomena..
