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

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..

Depolarize :: Depolarize (v. t.) To free from polarization, as the negative plate of the voltaic battery..

Electro-gilt :: Electro-gilt (a.) Gilded by means of voltaic electricity.

Electro-magnetism :: Electro-magnetism (n.) The magnetism developed by a current of electricity; the science which treats of the development of magnetism by means of voltaic electricity, and of the properties or actions of the currents evolved..

Rheophore :: Rheophore (n.) One of the poles of a voltaic battery; an electrode.

Deflagrator :: Deflagrator (n.) A form of the voltaic battery having large plates, used for producing rapid and powerful combustion..

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

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.

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..

Polarization :: Polarization (n.) An effect produced upon the plates of a voltaic battery, or the electrodes in an electrolytic cell, by the deposition upon them of the gases liberated by the action of the current. It is chiefly due to the hydrogen, and results in an increase of the resistance, and the setting up of an opposing electro-motive force, both of which tend materially to weaken the current of the battery, or that passing through the cell..

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

Water Battery :: Water battery () A voltaic battery in which the exciting fluid is water.

Voltaic :: Voltaic (a.) Of or pertaining to voltaism, or voltaic electricity; as, voltaic induction; the voltaic arc..

Electro-gilding :: Electro-gilding (n.) The art or process of gilding copper, iron, etc., by means of voltaic electricity..

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

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..

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

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..

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..
