Ozone :: Ozone (n.) A colorless gaseous substance (O/) obtained (as by the silent discharge of electricity in oxygen) as an allotropic form of oxygen, containing three atoms in the molecule. It is a streng oxidizer, and probably exists in the air, though by he ordinary tests it is liable to be confused with certain other substances, as hydrogen dioxide, or certain oxides of nitrogen. It derives its name from its peculiar odor, which resembles that of weak chlorine..

Farad :: Farad (n.) The standard unit of electrical capacity; the capacity of a condenser whose charge, having an electro-motive force of one volt, is equal to the amount of electricity which, with the same electromotive force, passes through one ohm in one second; the capacity, which, charged with one coulomb, gives an electro-motive force of one volt..

Thundercloud :: Thundercloud (n.) A cloud charged with electricity, and producing lightning and thunder..

Galvanography :: Galvanography (n.) The art or process of depositing metals by electricity; electrotypy.

Lightning :: Lightning (n.) A discharge of atmospheric electricity, accompanied by a vivid flash of light, commonly from one cloud to another, sometimes from a cloud to the earth. The sound produced by the electricity in passing rapidly through the atmosphere constitutes thunder..

Thermovoltaic :: Thermovoltaic (a.) Of or relating to heat and electricity; especially, relating to thermal effects produced by voltaic action..

Magneto-electricity :: Magneto-electricity (n.) Electricity evolved by the action of magnets.

Electro- :: Electro- () A prefix or combining form signifying pertaining to electricity, produced by electricity, producing or employing electricity, etc.; as, electro-negative; electro-dynamic; electro-magnet..

Electrician :: Electrician (n.) An investigator of electricity; one versed in the science of electricity.

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

Anelectrotonus :: Anelectrotonus (n.) The condition of decreased irritability of a nerve in the region of the positive electrode or anode on the passage of a current of electricity through it.

Electro-engraving :: Electro-engraving (n.) The art or process of engraving by means of electricity.

Hydrogalvanic :: Hydrogalvanic (a.) Pertaining to, produced by, or consisting of, electricity evolved by the action or use of fluids; as, hydrogalvanic currents..

Voltaic :: Voltaic (a.) Of or pertaining to Alessandro Volta, who first devised apparatus for developing electric currents by chemical action, and established this branch of electric science; discovered by Volta; as, voltaic electricity..

Electro-dynamics :: Electro-dynamics (n.) The branch of science which treats of the properties of electric currents; dynamical electricity.

Hydro-electric :: Hydro-electric (a.) Pertaining to, employed in, or produced by, the evolution of electricity by means of a battery in which water or steam is used..

Voltaism :: Voltaism (n.) That form of electricity which is developed by the chemical action between metals and different liquids; voltaic electricity; also, the science which treats of this form of electricity; -- called also galvanism, from Galvani, on account of his experiments showing the remarkable influence of this agent on animals..

Battery :: Battery (v. t.) An apparatus for generating voltaic electricity.

Coulomb :: Coulomb (n.) The standard unit of quantity in electrical measurements. It is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by the current produced by an electro-motive force of one volt acting in a circuit having a resistance of one ohm, or the quantity transferred by one ampere in one second. Formerly called weber..

Nonconducting :: Nonconducting (a.) Not conducting; not transmitting a fluid or force; thus, in electricity, wax is a nonconducting substance..
