ELECTRODEThe terminal at which electricity passes from one medium into another, such as in an electrical cell where the current leaves or returns to the electrolyte [1]. | ||
ELECTRODYNAMIC METER MOVEMENTA meter movement using fixed field coils and a moving coil; usually used in ammeters and wattmeters [3]. | ||
ELECTRODYNAMOMETERA meter using an electrodynamic movement to measure an electric current [16]. | ||
ELECTROLYSISThe process of changing the chemical composition of a material by passing an electric current through it [4] [11]. | ||
ELECTROLYTEA solution of a substance that is capable of conducting electricity. An electrolyte may be in the form of either a liquid or a paste [1]. | |
ELECTROMAGNETAn electrically excited magnet capable of exerting mechanical force or of performing mechanical work [1]. | ||
ELECTROMAGNETICThe term describing the relationship between electricity and magnetism. A quality that combines both magnetic and electric properties [1]. | ||
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDThe combination of an electric (E) field and a magnetic (H) field [10]. | ||
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTIONThe production of a voltage in a coil because of a change in the number of magnetic lines of force (flux linkages) passing through the coil [1] [2]. | ||
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCEMan-made or natural interference that degrades the quality of reception of radio waves [10] [17]. | ||
