Thanks for using this online dictionary, we have been helping millions of people improve their use of the english language with its free online services. English definition of electro- is as below...

Potential :: Potential (n.) The energy of an electrical charge measured by its power to do work; hence, the degree of electrification as referred to some standard, as that of the earth; electro-motive force..

Electro-metrical :: Electro-metrical (a.) Pertaining to electrometry; made by means of electrometer; as, an electrometrical experiment..

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..

Caesium :: Caesium (n.) A rare alkaline metal found in mineral water; -- so called from the two characteristic blue lines in its spectrum. It was the first element discovered by spectrum analysis, and is the most strongly basic and electro-positive substance known. Symbol Cs. Atomic weight 132.6..

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

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

Volt :: Volt (n.) The unit of electro-motive force; -- defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by United States Statute as, that electro-motive force which steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is one ohm will produce a current of one ampere. It is practically equivalent to / the electro-motive force of a standard Clark's cell at a temperature of 15? C..

Henry :: Henry (n.) The unit of electric induction; the induction in a circuit when the electro-motive force induced in this circuit is one volt, while the inducing current varies at the rate of one ampere a second..

Potentiometer :: Potentiometer (n.) An instrument for measuring or comparing electrial potentials or electro-motive forces.

Electro-gilding :: Electro-gilding (n.) The art or process of gilding copper, iron, etc., by means of voltaic electricity..

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..

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-physiological :: Electro-physiological (a.) Pertaining to electrical results produced through physiological agencies, or by change of action in a living organism..

Megavolt :: Megavolt (n.) One of the larger measures of electro-motive force, amounting to one million volts..

Electromotor :: Electromotor (n.) An apparatus or machine for producing motion and mechanical effects by the action of electricity; an electro-magnetic engine.

Electro-thermancy :: Electro-thermancy (n.) That branch of electrical science which treats of the effect of an electric current upon the temperature of a conductor, or a part of a circuit composed of two different metals..

Electro-stereotype :: Electro-stereotype (n.) Same as Electrotype.

Electro-motion :: Electro-motion (n.) The motion of electricity or its passage from one metal to another in a voltaic circuit; mechanical action produced by means of electricity.

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