Electrolyzable :: Electrolyzable (a.) Capable of being electrolyzed, or decomposed by electricity..

Electro-biologist :: Electro-biologist (n.) One versed in electro-biology.

Electroscopic :: Electroscopic (a.) Relating to, or made by means of, the electroscope..

Electro-dynamics :: Electro-dynamics (n.) The phenomena of electricity in motion.

Electrolyze :: Electrolyze (v. t.) To decompose by the direct action of electricity.

Electro-negative :: Electro-negative (a.) Negative; nonmetallic; acid; -- opposed to positive, metallic, or basic..

Electro-vitalism :: Electro-vitalism (n.) The theory that the functions of living organisms are dependent upon electricity or a kindred force.

Stylus :: Stylus (n.) That needle-shaped part at the tip of the playing arm of phonograph which sits in the groove of a phonograph record while it is turning, to detect the undulations in the phonograph groove and convert them into vibrations which are transmitted to a system (since 1920 electronic) which converts the signal into sound; also called needle. The stylus is frequently composed of metal or diamond..

Armature :: Armature (n.) A piece of soft iron used to connect the two poles of a magnet, or electro-magnet, in order to complete the circuit, or to receive and apply the magnetic force. In the ordinary horseshoe magnet, it serves to prevent the dissipation of the magnetic force..

Cathode :: Cathode (n.) The part of a voltaic battery by which the electric current leaves substances through which it passes, or the surface at which the electric current passes out of the electrolyte; the negative pole; -- opposed to anode..

Galvanography :: Galvanography (n.) The art or process of depositing metals by electricity; electrotypy.

Electrotypic :: Electrotypic (a.) Pertaining to, or effected by means of, electrotypy..

Electro-magnet :: Electro-magnet (n.) A mass, usually of soft iron, but sometimes of some other magnetic metal, as nickel or cobalt, rendered temporarily magnetic by being placed within a coil of wire through which a current of electricity is passing. The metal is generally in the form of a bar, either straight, or bent into the shape of a horseshoe..

Siderography :: Siderography (n.) The art or practice of steel engraving; especially, the process, invented by Perkins, of multiplying facsimiles of an engraved steel plate by first rolling over it, when hardened, a soft steel cylinder, and then rolling the cylinder, when hardened, over a soft steel plate, which thus becomes a facsimile of the original. The process has been superseded by electrotypy..

Electro-chronographic :: Electro-chronographic (a.) Belonging to the electro-chronograph, or recorded by the aid of it..

Electrolier :: Electrolier (n.) A branching frame, often of ornamental design, to support electric illuminating lamps..
