Interrupter :: Interrupter (n.) A device for opening and closing an electrical circuit; a vibrating spring or tuning fork, arranged to make and break a circuit at rapidly recurring intervals, by the action of the current itself..

Break :: Break (v. t.) An opening or displacement in the circuit, interrupting the electrical current..

Inductive :: Inductive (a.) Operating by induction; as, an inductive electrical machine..

Commutator :: Commutator (n.) A piece of apparatus used for reversing the direction of an electrical current; an attachment to certain electrical machines, by means of which alternating currents are made to be continuous or to have the same direction..

Terminal :: Terminal (n.) Either of the ends of the conducting circuit of an electrical apparatus, as an inductorium, dynamo, or electric motor, usually provided with binding screws for the attachment of wires by which a current may be conveyed into or from the machine; a pole..

Induction :: Induction (n.) The property by which one body, having electrical or magnetic polarity, causes or induces it in another body without direct contact; an impress of electrical or magnetic force or condition from one body on another without actual contact..

Inductometer :: Inductometer (n.) An instrument for measuring or ascertaining the degree or rate of electrical induction.

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..

Tension :: Tension (a.) The quality in consequence of which an electric charge tends to discharge itself, as into the air by a spark, or to pass from a body of greater to one of less electrical potential. It varies as the quantity of electricity upon a given area..

Electricalness :: Electricalness (a.) The state or quality of being electrical.

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

Atmosphere :: Atmosphere (n.) A supposed medium around various bodies; as, electrical atmosphere, a medium formerly supposed to surround electrical bodies..

Telegraph :: Telegraph (n.) An apparatus, or a process, for communicating intelligence rapidly between distant points, especially by means of preconcerted visible or audible signals representing words or ideas, or by means of words and signs, transmitted by electrical action..

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

Inductor :: Inductor (n.) That portion of an electrical apparatus, in which is the inducing charge or current..

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..

Geissler Tube :: Geissler tube () A glass tube provided with platinum electrodes, and containing some gas under very low tension, which becomes luminous when an electrical discharge is passed through it; -- so called from the name of a noted maker in germany. It is called also Plucker tube, from the German physicist who devised it..

Weber :: Weber (n.) The standard unit of electrical quantity, and also of current. See Coulomb, and Amp/re..

Microcoulomb :: Microcoulomb (n.) A measure of electrical quantity; the millionth part of one coulomb.
