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..

Electro-biology :: Electro-biology (n.) That phase of mesmerism or animal magnetism, the phenomena of which are supposed to be produced by a form of electricity..

Electro-puncturation :: Electro-puncturation (n.) Alt. of Electro-puncturin.

Galvanopuncture :: Galvanopuncture (n.) Same as Electro-puncture.

Electro-dynamometer :: Electro-dynamometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the strength of electro-dynamic currents.

Electro-muscular :: Electro-muscular (a.) Pertaining the reaction (contraction) of the muscles under electricity, or their sensibility to it..

Cation :: Cation (n.) An electro-positive substance, which in electro-decomposition is evolved at the cathode; -- opposed to anion..

Electro-metallurgy :: Electro-metallurgy (n.) The act or art precipitating a metal electro-chemical action, by which a coating is deposited, on a prepared surface, as in electroplating and electrotyping; galvanoplasty..

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..

Electro-puncturing :: Electro-puncturing (n.) See Electropuncture.

Electro- :: Electro- () A prefix or combining form signifying pertaining to electricity, produced by electricity, producing or employing electricity, etc.; as, electro-negative; electro-dynamic; electro-magnet..

Electro-kinetic :: Electro-kinetic (a.) Of or pertaining to electro-kinetics.

Electro-chemistry :: Electro-chemistry (n.) That branch of science which treats of the relation of electricity to chemical changes.

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-kinetics :: Electro-kinetics (n.) That branch of electrical science which treats of electricity in motion.

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

Electro-biology :: Electro-biology (n.) That branch of biology which treats of the electrical phenomena of living organisms.

Electro-physiology :: Electro-physiology (n.) That branch of physiology which treats of electric phenomena produced through physiological agencies.

Inducteous :: Inducteous (a.) Rendered electro-polar by induction, or brought into the opposite electrical state by the influence of inductive bodies..

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..
