Torpedo :: Torpedo (n.) Any one of numerous species of elasmobranch fishes belonging to Torpedo and allied genera. They are related to the rays, but have the power of giving electrical shocks. Called also crampfish, and numbfish. See Electrical fish, under Electrical..

Ground :: Ground (n.) A conducting connection with the earth, whereby the earth is made part of an electrical circuit..

Electrical :: Electrical (a.) Capable of occasioning the phenomena of electricity; as, an electric or electrical machine or substance..

Scyphophori :: Scyphophori (n. pl.) An order of fresh-water fishes inhabiting tropical Africa. They have rudimentary electrical organs on each side of the tail.

Tension :: Tension (a.) The quality in consequence of which an electric charge tends to discharge itself, as into the air by a spark, or to pass from a body of greater to one of less electrical potential. It varies as the quantity of electricity upon a given area..

Galvanism :: Galvanism (n.) The branch of physical science which treats of dynamical elecricity, or the properties and effects of electrical currents..

Inductive :: Inductive (a.) Operating by induction; as, an inductive electrical machine..

Coulomb :: Coulomb (n.) The standard unit of quantity in electrical measurements. It is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by the current produced by an electro-motive force of one volt acting in a circuit having a resistance of one ohm, or the quantity transferred by one ampere in one second. Formerly called weber..

Elextrometry :: Elextrometry (n.) The art or process of making electrical measurements.

Rubber :: Rubber (n.) The cushion of an electrical machine.

Ampere :: Ampere (n.) The unit of electric current; -- defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by U. S. Statute as, one tenth of the unit of current of the C. G. S. system of electro-magnetic units, or the practical equivalent of the unvarying current which, when passed through a standard solution of nitrate of silver in water, deposits silver at the rate of 0.001118 grams per second. Called also the international ampere..

Voltmeter :: Voltmeter (n.) An instrument for measuring in volts the differences of potential between different points of an electrical circuit.

Amperometer :: Amperometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the strength of an electrical current in amperes.

Break-circuit :: Break-circuit (n.) A key or other device for breaking an electrical circuit.

Galvanize :: Galvanize (v. t.) To affect with galvanism; to subject to the action of electrical currents.

Ohm :: Ohm (n.) The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance, being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the tempera

Rheostat :: Rheostat (n.) A contrivance for adjusting or regulating the strength of electrical currents, operating usually by the intercalation of resistance which can be varied at will..

Ground :: Ground (v. t.) To connect with the ground so as to make the earth a part of an electrical circuit.

Microcoulomb :: Microcoulomb (n.) A measure of electrical quantity; the millionth part of one coulomb.

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