The “end on” and “broadside” methods of determining magnetization involve positions which have been thus termed. (See Broadside Method and End on Method.)

An electric circuit acts upon a magnetic pole in such a way as to make the number of lines of force that pass through the circuit a maximum.

A name suggested for unit intensity of magnetic field. Sylvanus P. Thomson proposed for its value the intensity of a field of 1E8 C. G. S. electro-magnetic units. J. A. Fleming proposed the strength of field which would develop one volt potential difference in a wire 1E6 centimeters long, moving through such field with a [...]

A goblet lined for half its interior surface with tinfoil. It is placed in the receiver of an air pump from the top of whose bell a conductor descends into it, not touching the foil. On producing a good rarefaction, and discharging high tension electricity from between the conductor just mentioned and the metal of [...]

An apparatus for illuminating by an incandescent lamp the interior of the stomach, and with prisms to refract the rays of light so that the part can be seen. The stomach is inflated with air, if desirable, to give a better view. An incandescent platinum spiral in a water jacket has been employed for the [...]

The evolution of gas from the plates of a storage battery in the charging process, due to too high voltage in the circuit of the charging dynamo.

The mixture of approximately one volume of oxygen and two volumes of hydrogen collected in the eudiometer of a gas voltameter or other electrolytic apparatus.

Gas produced by the decomposition, generally of water, by electrolysis. It may be hydrogen or oxygen, or a mixture of the two, according to how it is collected. (See Gases, Mixed.)

An instrument, generally of the galvanometer type, used for ascertaining whether a current is flowing or not. Any galvanoscope, when calibrated, if susceptible thereof, becomes a galvanometer.

An operation in medical electricity. (See Electro-puncture.)
