Leader :: Leader (n.) A pipe for conducting rain water from a roof to a cistern or to the ground; a conductor.

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..

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..

Differential :: Differential (n.) A form of conductor used for dividing and distributing the current to a series of electric lamps so as to maintain equal action in all.

Trolly :: Trolly (n.) A truck which travels along the fixed conductors, and forms a means of connection between them and a railway car..

Short-circuit :: Short-circuit (v. t.) To join, as the electrodes of a battery or dynamo or any two points of a circuit, by a conductor of low resistance..

Leader :: Leader (n.) One who, or that which, leads or conducts; a guide; a conductor..

Conductory :: Conductory (a.) Having the property of conducting.

Paratonnerre :: Paratonnerre (n.) A conductor of lightning; a lightning rod.

Corypheus :: Corypheus (n.) The conductor, chief, or leader of the dramatic chorus; hence, the chief or leader of a party or interest..

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..

Short Circuit :: Short circuit () A circuit formed or closed by a conductor of relatively low resistance because shorter or of relatively great conductivity.

Connector :: Connector (n.) A device for holding two parts of an electrical conductor in contact.

Insulation :: Insulation (n.) The act of separating a body from others by nonconductors, so as to prevent the transfer of electricity or of heat; also, the state of a body so separated..

Conductor :: Conductor (n.) A grooved sound or staff used for directing instruments, as lithontriptic forceps, etc.; a director..

Resistance :: Resistance (n.) A certain hindrance or opposition to the passage of an electrical current or discharge offered by conducting bodies. It bears an inverse relation to the conductivity, -- good conductors having a small resistance, while poor conductors or insulators have a very high resistance. The unit of resistance is the ohm..

Aqueduct :: Aqueduct (n.) A conductor, conduit, or artificial channel for conveying water, especially one for supplying large cities with water..

Conductor :: Conductor (n.) One in charge of a public conveyance, as of a railroad train or a street car..

Bridge :: Bridge (n.) A device to measure the resistance of a wire or other conductor forming part of an electric circuit.

Resin :: Resin (n.) Any one of a class of yellowish brown solid inflammable substances, of vegetable origin, which are nonconductors of electricity, have a vitreous fracture, and are soluble in ether, alcohol, and essential oils, but not in water; specif., pine resin (see Rosin)..
