Hysteresis :: Hysteresis (n.) A lagging or retardation of the effect, when the forces acting upon a body are changed, as if from velocity or internal friction; a temporary resistance to change from a condition previously induced, observed in magnetism, thermoelectricity, etc., on reversal of polarity..

Ray :: Ray (n.) A line of light or heat proceeding from a radiant or reflecting point; a single element of light or heat propagated continuously; as, a solar ray; a polarized ray..

Depolarization :: Depolarization (n.) The act of depriving of polarity, or the result of such action; reduction to an unpolarized condition..

Depolarizing :: Depolarizing (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Depolariz.

Diamagnet :: Diamagnet (n.) A body having diamagnetic polarity.

Polarchy :: Polarchy (n.) See Polyarchy.

Subpolygonal :: Subpolar (a.) Situated below the poles.

Levo- :: Levo- () Turning the plane of polarized light to the left; as, levotartaric acid; levoracemic acid; levogyratory crystals, etc..

Zinco-polar :: Zinco-polar (a.) Electrically polarized like the surface of the zinc presented to the acid in a battery, which has zincous affinity..

Cronian :: Cronian (a.) Saturnian; -- applied to the North Polar Sea.

Polarization :: Polarization (n.) A peculiar affection or condition of the rays of light or heat, in consequence of which they exhibit different properties in different directions..

Dextro- :: Dextro- () having the property of turning the plane of polarized light to the right; as, dextrotartaric acid..

Pole :: Pole (n.) See Polarity, and Polar, n..

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..

Unipolar :: Unipolar (a.) Having, or acting by means of, one pole only..

Iceland Spar :: Iceland spar () A transparent variety of calcite, the best of which is obtained in Iceland. It is used for the prisms of the polariscope, because of its strong double refraction. Cf. Calcite..
