ELECTRODE

The 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 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].

ELECTROLYTE

A 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].

ELECTROMAGNET

An electrically excited magnet capable of exerting mechanical force or of
performing mechanical work [1].

ELECTROMAGNETIC

The term describing the relationship between electricity and magnetism. A
quality that combines both magnetic and electric properties [1].

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD

The combination of an electric (E) field and a magnetic (H) field [10].

ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION

The 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 INTERFERENCE

Man-made or natural interference that degrades the quality of reception of radio waves [10] [17].
