Galvanometer :: Galvanometer (n.) An instrument or apparatus for measuring the intensity of an electric current, usually by the deflection of a magnetic needle..

Deflection :: Deflection (n.) A deviation of the rays of light toward the surface of an opaque body; inflection; diffraction.

Deadbeat :: Deadbeat (a.) Making a beat without recoil; giving indications by a single beat or excursion; -- said of galvanometers and other instruments in which the needle or index moves to the extent of its deflection and stops with little or no further oscillation.

Deflection :: Deflection (n.) The act of turning aside, or state of being turned aside; a turning from a right line or proper course; a bending, esp. downward; deviation..

Deflecting :: Deflecting (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Deflec.

Deflected :: Deflected (a.) Turned aside; deviating from a direct line or course.
