Insulator :: Insulator (n.) The substance or body that insulates; a nonconductor.

Bridge :: Bridge (n.) A device to measure the resistance of a wire or other conductor forming part of an electric circuit.

Short Circuit :: Short circuit () A circuit formed or closed by a conductor of relatively low resistance because shorter or of relatively great conductivity.

Insulation :: Insulation (n.) The act of separating a body from others by nonconductors, so as to prevent the transfer of electricity or of heat; also, the state of a body so separated..

Paragrele :: Paragrele (n.) A lightning conductor erected, as in a vineyard, for drawing off the electricity in the atmosphere in order to prevent hailstorms..

Manductor :: Manductor (n.) A conductor; an officer in the ancient church who gave the signal for the choir to sing, and who beat time with the hand, and regulated the music..

Conductor :: Conductor (n.) One in charge of a public conveyance, as of a railroad train or a street car..

Trumpet :: Trumpet (n.) A funnel, or short, fiaring pipe, used as a guide or conductor, as for yarn in a knitting machine..

Guide :: Guide (v. t.) A person who leads or directs another in his way or course, as in a strange land; one who exhibits points of interest to strangers; a conductor; also, that which guides; a guidebook..

Electrode :: Electrode (n.) The path by which electricity is conveyed into or from a solution or other conducting medium; esp., the ends of the wires or conductors, leading from source of electricity, and terminating in the medium traversed by the current..

Conductor :: Conductor (n.) The leader or director of an orchestra or chorus.

Paratonnerre :: Paratonnerre (n.) A conductor of lightning; a lightning rod.

Connector :: Connector (n.) A device for holding two parts of an electrical conductor in contact.

Manager :: Manager (n.) One who manages; a conductor or director; as, the manager of a theater..

Short-circuit :: Short-circuit (v. t.) To join, as the electrodes of a battery or dynamo or any two points of a circuit, by a conductor of low resistance..

Differential :: Differential (n.) A form of conductor used for dividing and distributing the current to a series of electric lamps so as to maintain equal action in all.

Conductor :: Conductor (n.) A grooved sound or staff used for directing instruments, as lithontriptic forceps, etc.; a director..

Shunt :: Shunt (v. t.) A conducting circuit joining two points in a conductor, or the terminals of a galvanometer or dynamo, so as to form a parallel or derived circuit through which a portion of the current may pass, for the purpose of regulating the amount passing in the main circuit..

Resistance :: Resistance (n.) A certain hindrance or opposition to the passage of an electrical current or discharge offered by conducting bodies. It bears an inverse relation to the conductivity, -- good conductors having a small resistance, while poor conductors or insulators have a very high resistance. The unit of resistance is the ohm..

Nonconductor :: Nonconductor (n.) A substance which does not conduct, that is, convey or transmit, heat, electricity, sound, vibration, or the like, or which transmits them with difficulty; an insulator; as, wool is a nonconductor of heat; glass and dry wood are nonconductors of electricity..
