ELECTRODYNAMIC METER MOVEMENT

A meter movement using fixed field coils and a moving coil; usually used in ammeters and wattmeters [3].


ELECTRODYNAMOMETER

A meter using an electrodynamic movement to measure an electric
current [16].


ELECTROLYSIS

The process of changing the chemical composition of a material by passing an electric current through it [4] [11].
