Electro-vital :: Electro-vital (a.) Derived from, or dependent upon, vital processes; -- said of certain electric currents supposed by some physiologists to circulate in the nerves of animals..

Electro-negative :: Electro-negative (n.) A body which passes to the positive pole in electrolysis.

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

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

Electro-dynamical :: Electro-dynamical (a.) Pertaining to the movements or force of electric or galvanic currents; dependent on electric force.

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..

Plating :: Plating (n.) The art or process of covering anything with a plate or plates, or with metal, particularly of overlaying a base or dull metal with a thin plate of precious or bright metal, as by mechanical means or by electro-magnetic deposition..

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-dynamics :: Electro-dynamics (n.) The branch of science which treats of the properties of electric currents; dynamical electricity.

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

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

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..

Electro-ballistic :: Electro-ballistic (a.) Pertaining to electro-ballistics.

Ion :: Ion (n.) One of the elements which appear at the respective poles when a body is subjected to electro-chemical decomposition. Cf. Anion, Cation..

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

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

Electro-engraving :: Electro-engraving (n.) The art or process of engraving by means of electricity.

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.

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..

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..
