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

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

Electro-telegraphic :: Electro-telegraphic (a.) Pertaining to the electric telegraph, or by means of it..

Positive :: Positive (n.) The positive plate of a voltaic or electrolytic cell.

Electrotype :: Electrotype (n.) A facsimile plate made by electrotypy for use in printing; also, an impression or print from such plate. Also used adjectively..

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

Electrostatics :: Electrostatics (n.) That branch of science which treats of statical electricity or electric force in a state of rest.

Electrometer :: Electrometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the quantity or intensity of electricity; also, sometimes, and less properly, applied to an instrument which indicates the presence of electricity (usually called an electroscope)..

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..

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..

Halogen :: Halogen (n.) An electro-negative element or radical, which, by combination with a metal, forms a haloid salt; especially, chlorine, bromine, and iodine; sometimes, also, fluorine and cyanogen. See Chlorine family, under Chlorine..

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..

Negative :: Negative (n.) The negative plate of a voltaic or electrolytic cell.

Anion :: Anion (n.) An electro-negative element, or the element which, in electro-chemical decompositions, is evolved at the anode; -- opposed to cation..

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

Galvanoplasty :: Galvanoplasty (n.) The art or process of electrotypy.

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

Parelectronomic :: Parelectronomic (a.) Of or relating to parelectronomy; as, the parelectronomic part of a muscle..

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

Zincous :: Zincous (a.) Of or pertaining to the positive pole of a galvanic battery; electro-positive.
