Rheometer :: Rheometer (n.) An instrument for measuring currents, especially the force or intensity of electrical currents; a galvanometer..

Senate :: Senate (n.) A body of elders appointed or elected from among the nobles of the nation, and having supreme legislative authority..

Cast :: Cast (v. t.) To stereotype or electrotype.

Volta-electric :: Volta-electric (a.) Of or pertaining to voltaic electricity, or voltaism..

Ohm :: Ohm (n.) The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance, being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the tempera

Siderography :: Siderography (n.) The art or practice of steel engraving; especially, the process, invented by Perkins, of multiplying facsimiles of an engraved steel plate by first rolling over it, when hardened, a soft steel cylinder, and then rolling the cylinder, when hardened, over a soft steel plate, which thus becomes a facsimile of the original. The process has been superseded by electrotypy..

Extract :: Extract (v. t.) To take by selection; to choose out; to cite or quote, as a passage from a book..

Eclectic :: Eclectic (a.) Consisting, or made up, of what is chosen or selected; as, an eclectic method; an eclectic magazine..

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..

Semi-pelagian :: Semi-Pelagian (n.) A follower of John Cassianus, a French monk (died about 448), who modified the doctrines of Pelagius, by denying human merit, and maintaining the necessity of the Spirit's influence, while, on the other hand, he rejected the Augustinian doctrines of election, the inability of man to do good, and the certain perseverance of the saints..

Electric :: Electric (a.) Alt. of Electrica.

Electrophone :: Electrophone (n.) An instrument for producing sound by means of electric currents.

Cathode :: Cathode (n.) The part of a voltaic battery by which the electric current leaves substances through which it passes, or the surface at which the electric current passes out of the electrolyte; the negative pole; -- opposed to anode..

Semichorus :: Semichorus (n.) A half chorus; a passage to be sung by a selected portion of the voices, as the female voices only, in contrast with the full choir..

Strip :: Strip (v. t.) To remove the metal coating from (a plated article), as by acids or electrolytic action..

Gramme Machine :: Gramme machine () A kind of dynamo-electric machine; -- so named from its French inventor, M. Gramme..

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..

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

Refer :: Refer (v. t.) To place in or under by a mental or rational process; to assign to, as a class, a cause, source, a motive, reason, or ground of explanation; as, he referred the phenomena to electrical disturbances..
