Electro-physiology :: Electro-physiology (n.) That branch of physiology which treats of electric phenomena produced through physiological agencies.

Electro-gilt :: Electro-gilt (a.) Gilded by means of voltaic electricity.

Electro-magnetic :: Electro-magnetic (a.) Of, Pertaining to, or produced by, magnetism which is developed by the passage of an electric current..

Volt :: Volt (n.) The unit of electro-motive force; -- defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by United States Statute as, that electro-motive force which steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is one ohm will produce a current of one ampere. It is practically equivalent to / the electro-motive force of a standard Clark's cell at a temperature of 15? C..

Henry :: Henry (n.) The unit of electric induction; the induction in a circuit when the electro-motive force induced in this circuit is one volt, while the inducing current varies at the rate of one ampere a second..

Electro-kinetic :: Electro-kinetic (a.) Of or pertaining to electro-kinetics.

Cation :: Cation (n.) An electro-positive substance, which in electro-decomposition is evolved at the cathode; -- opposed to anion..

Ampere :: Ampere (n.) The unit of electric current; -- defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by U. S. Statute as, one tenth of the unit of current of the C. G. S. system of electro-magnetic units, or the practical equivalent of the unvarying current which, when passed through a standard solution of nitrate of silver in water, deposits silver at the rate of 0.001118 grams per second. Called also the international ampere..

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..

Electro-metric :: Electro-metric (a.) Alt. of Electro-metrica.

Electro-negative :: Electro-negative (a.) Having the property of being attracted by an electro-positive body, or a tendency to pass to the positive pole in electrolysis, by the law that opposite electricities attract each other..

Inducteous :: Inducteous (a.) Rendered electro-polar by induction, or brought into the opposite electrical state by the influence of inductive bodies..

Electro-telegraphic :: Electro-telegraphic (a.) Pertaining to the electric telegraph, or by means of it..

Electro-chronograph :: Electro-chronograph (n.) An instrument for obtaining an accurate record of the time at which any observed phenomenon occurs, or of its duration. It has an electro-magnetic register connected with a clock. See Chronograph..

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..

Electro-chronographic :: Electro-chronographic (a.) Belonging to the electro-chronograph, or recorded by the aid of it..

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

Magneto-electricity :: Magneto-electricity (n.) That branch of science which treats of the development of electricity by the action of magnets; -- the counterpart of electro-magnetism.

Electro-dynamometer :: Electro-dynamometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the strength of electro-dynamic currents.

Subsextuple :: Subsesqui- () A prefix (also used adjectively) denoting the combination of constituents (especially electro-negative and electro-positive bodies) in the proportion of two to three; as, a subsesqui acetate, i. e., a salt having two equivalents of acetic acid to three of the base..
