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

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

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

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..

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..

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

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..

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..

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..

Cathode :: Cathode (n.) The part of a voltaic battery by which the electric current leaves substances through which it passes, or the surface at which the electric current passes out of the electrolyte; the negative pole; -- opposed to anode..

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

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

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

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

Voltaplast :: Voltaplast (n.) A form of voltaic, or galvanic, battery suitable for use electrotyping..

Chemiglyphic :: Chemiglyphic (a.) Engraved by a voltaic battery.

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..

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

Depolarizer :: Depolarizer (n.) A substance used to prevent polarization, as upon the negative plate of a voltaic battery..

Battery :: Battery (v. t.) An apparatus for generating voltaic electricity.
