Solenoid :: Solenoid (n.) An electrodynamic spiral having the conjuctive wire turned back along its axis, so as to neutralize that component of the effect of the current which is due to the length of the spiral, and reduce the whole effect to that of a series of equal and parallel circular currents. When traversed by a current the solenoid exhibits polarity and attraction or repulsion, like a magnet..

Ripple :: Ripple (n.) the residual AC component in the DC current output from a rectifier, expressed as a percentage of the steady component of the current..

Electro-magnetic :: Electro-magnetic (a.) Of, Pertaining to, or produced by, magnetism which is developed by the passage of an electric current..

Harper :: Harper (n.) A brass coin bearing the emblem of a harp, -- formerly current in Ireland..

Microampere :: Microampere (n.) One of the smaller measures of electrical currents; the millionth part of one ampere.

Franklin Stove :: Franklin stove () A kind of open stove introduced by Benjamin Franklin, the peculiar feature of which was that a current of heated air was directly supplied to the room from an air box; -- now applied to other varieties of open stoves..

Concurrentness :: Concurrentness (n.) The state or quality of being concurrent; concurrence.

Fan :: Fan (n.) To winnow; to separate chaff from, and drive it away by a current of air; as, to fan wheat..

Restem :: Restem (v. t.) To stem, or move against; as, to restem a current..

Rheoscope :: Rheoscope (n.) An instrument for detecting the presence or movement of currents, as of electricity..

Confluence :: Confluence (n.) Any running together of separate streams or currents; the act of meeting and crowding in a place; hence, a crowd; a concourse; an assemblage..

Faradic :: Faradic (a.) Of or pertaining to Michael Faraday, the distinguished electrician; -- applied especially to induced currents of electricity, as produced by certain forms of inductive apparatus, on account of Faraday's investigations of their laws..

Inshore :: Inshore (a.) Being near or moving towards the shore; as, inshore fisheries; inshore currents..

Continuous :: Continuous (a.) Without break, cessation, or interruption; without intervening space or time; uninterrupted; unbroken; continual; unceasing; constant; continued; protracted; extended; as, a continuous line of railroad; a continuous current of electricity..

Electromotor :: Electromotor (n.) A mover or exciter of electricity; as apparatus for generating a current of electricity.

Pamphlet :: Pamphlet (n.) A small book consisting of a few sheets of printed paper, stitched together, often with a paper cover, but not bound; a short essay or written discussion, usually on a subject of current interest..

Thermopile :: Thermopile (n.) An instrument of extreme sensibility, used to determine slight differences and degrees of heat. It is composed of alternate bars of antimony and bismuth, or any two metals having different capacities for the conduction of heat, connected with an astatic galvanometer, which is very sensibly affected by the electric current induced in the system of bars when exposed even to the feeblest degrees of heat..

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..

Whirlwind :: Whirlwind (n.) A violent windstorm of limited extent, as the tornado, characterized by an inward spiral motion of the air with an upward current in the center; a vortex of air. It usually has a rapid progressive motion..

Entrain :: Entrain (v. t.) To draw along as a current does; as, water entrained by steam..
