Tasimer :: Tasimer (n.) An instrument for detecting or measuring minute extension or movements of solid bodies. It consists essentially of a small rod, disk, or button of carbon, forming part of an electrical circuit, the resistance of which, being varied by the changes of pressure produced by the movements of the object to be measured, causes variations in the strength of the current, which variations are indicated by a sensitive galvanometer. It is also used for measuring minute changes of temperature..

Megafarad :: Megafarad (n.) One of the larger measures of electrical capacity, amounting to one million farads; a macrofarad..

Galvanoscope :: Galvanoscope (n.) An instrument or apparatus for detecting the presence of electrical currents, especially such as are of feeble intensity..

Electro-motive :: Electro-motive (a.) Producing electro-motion; producing, or tending to produce, electricity or an electric current; causing electrical action or effects..

Parelectronomy :: Parelectronomy (n.) A condition of the muscles induced by exposure to severe cold, in which the electrical action of the muscle is reversed..

Dynamo-electric :: Dynamo-electric (a.) Pertaining to the development of electricity, especially electrical currents, by power; producing electricity or electrical currents by mechanical power..

Galvanism :: Galvanism (n.) The branch of physical science which treats of dynamical elecricity, or the properties and effects of electrical currents..

Irritant :: Irritant (n.) Any agent by which irritation is produced; as, a chemical irritant; a mechanical or electrical irritant..

Electrotonic :: Electrotonic (a.) Of or pertaining to electrical tension; -- said of a supposed peculiar condition of a conducting circuit during its exposure to the action of another conducting circuit traversed by a uniform electric current when both circuits remain stationary.

Rheostat :: Rheostat (n.) A contrivance for adjusting or regulating the strength of electrical currents, operating usually by the intercalation of resistance which can be varied at will..

Gymnonoti :: Gymnonoti (n. pl.) The order of fishes which includes the Gymnotus or electrical eel. The dorsal fin is wanting.

Ground :: Ground (n.) A conducting connection with the earth, whereby the earth is made part of an electrical circuit..

Eel :: Eel (n.) An elongated fish of many genera and species. The common eels of Europe and America belong to the genus Anguilla. The electrical eel is a species of Gymnotus. The so called vinegar eel is a minute nematode worm. See Conger eel, Electric eel, and Gymnotus..

Galvanic :: Galvanic (a.) Of or pertaining to, or exhibiting the phenomena of, galvanism; employing or producing electrical currents..

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..

Accumulator :: Accumulator (n.) An apparatus by means of which energy or power can be stored, such as the cylinder or tank for storing water for hydraulic elevators, the secondary or storage battery used for accumulating the energy of electrical charges, etc..

Rubber :: Rubber (n.) The cushion of an electrical machine.

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