What is "electrically"

Usage examples of "electrically".

In other words, the handyman had electrically grounded the machine the wrong way, ensuring that if he touched both the exterior metal case of the dishwasher, and something else that was metal or conductive, he would complete an electrical circuit through his own body and electrocute himself.

Her pupils remained miotic, suggesting her brain was getting enough oxygen, but her heart stayed electrically and mechanically still.

These test subjects all reported that they saw bright flashes of light called phosphenes when electrically stimulated.

Electrically controlled gates open soundlessly and long cars with dark tinted glass glide out onto unlittered streets where there is no one in sight except the gardeners moving quietly across unnaturally green grass.

In the control room power was lost to the electrically controlled trim tabs on the trailing edge of the diving planes, which automatically switched back to electrohydraulic control.

The winner of the competition was Herman Hollerith, whose electrically powered calculator was a monster device that not only processed numbers but displayed the progress of the process on large clocks for all to see.

A wash of ice water went through his veins as he remembered what was waiting for him therethe black leather Carpet of Blood, the scarred chopping block, the pegboard display hung with various ingenious hooks, screws, winches, pulleys, and electrically heated pincers.

In fact, although we have focused on the electron, this discussion applies equally well to all electrically charged particles and is summarized by saying that quantum effects drive the strength of the electromagnetic force to get larger when examined on shorter distance scales.

It was a technique associated especially with the Montreal neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield, and in its early period at least, in the 1950s, required that the site of the epileptic focus be identified by exposing the surface of the brain and then probing it with electrodes through which current could be passed so as to stimulate electrically the cells with which they came into contact.

But then, when the temperature had dropped to a few thousand degrees, wildly streaming electrons slowed down to the point where atomic nuclei, mostly hydrogen and helium, could capture them, forming the first electrically neutral atoms.

But when negatively charged electrons were brought into orbit around positively charged nuclei, yielding electrically neutral atoms, the charged obstructions disappeared and the dense fog lifted.

By electrically stimulating the emotional center of the brain, the entire range of emotions can be produced.

Upon contact, the cells writhed in a time-slowed chaotic reflex as their structures were torn, their electrically balanced membranes thrown into a confused, black-limned boil that disappeared within the fog.

It is a universal property of living cells that their external cell membranes are electrically charged.

Nor did he need to check whether all of these doors were primed, for he knew that Ches would automatically have triggered the internal locks electrically as soon as the alarm, now silent, had started yowling over the sound system.
