Lern More About Electro-

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..
Zincous :: Zincous (a.) Of or pertaining to the positive pole of a galvanic battery; electro-positive.
Electro-gilt :: Electro-gilt (a.) Gilded by means of voltaic electricity.
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..
Electro-capillary :: Electro-capillary (a.) Pert. to, or caused by, electro-capillarity..
Electro-kinetic :: Electro-kinetic (a.) Of or pertaining to electro-kinetics.
Electro-chronograph :: Electro-chronograph (n.) An instrument for obtaining an accurate record of the time at which any observed phenomenon occurs, or of its duration. It has an electro-magnetic register connected with a clock. See Chronograph..
Electro-polar :: Electro-polar (a.) Possessing electrical polarity; positively electrified at one end, or on one surface, and negatively at the other; -- said of a conductor..
Electro-positive :: Electro-positive (n.) A body which passes to the negative pole in electrolysis.
Electro-positive :: Electro-positive (a.) Of such a nature relatively to some other associated body or bodies, as to tend to the negative pole of a voltaic battery, in electrolysis, while the associated body tends to the positive pole; -- the converse or correlative of electro-negative..
Positive :: Positive (a.) Electro-positive.
Electro-muscular :: Electro-muscular (a.) Pertaining the reaction (contraction) of the muscles under electricity, or their sensibility to it..

Magneto-electricity :: Magneto-electricity (n.) That branch of science which treats of the development of electricity by the action of magnets; -- the counterpart of electro-magnetism.
Electro-puncture :: Electro-puncture (n.) An operation that consists in inserting needless in the part affected, and connecting them with the poles of a galvanic apparatus..
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
