What is "electromotive"

Usage examples of "electromotive".

I think their psychic control was strong enough to reverse a weak current flow caused by a weak electromotive force.

In the conductor, however, we find an electromotive force, to which in itself there is no corresponding energy, but which gives rise - assuming equality of relative motion in the two cases discussed - to electric currents of the same path and intensity as those produced by the electric forces in the former case.

Beside the lamp, wires trailed to an electromotive cell beneath the bench.

Its electromotive force is determined by the distance in the series between the metals used.

There were wires and connections which suggested an electromotive force, but that was all.

It was called a Deep Electromotive Valence Induration Lithospherimal process.

Once a robotic toy companion, a crude electromotive toy from the first decade of the twenty-first century, Aineko was progressively upgraded and patched and periodically migrated to a new hardware platform -- until, by some time in the third or fourth decade, it acquired an agenda of its own.

The intensity of the response, however, does not depend on the chemical activity of the substance, for the electromotive variation in the relatively chemically inactive tin is greater than that of zinc.

It cuts the magnetic lines of force of the stator and induces electromotive force in the windings.

Theoretically, a terminal of less than 90 feet in diameter is sufficient to develop an electromotive force of that magnitude, while for antenna currents of from 2,000-4,000 amperes at the usual frequencies, it need not be larger than 30 feet in diameter.

At this end of the line I merely measure the electromotive force developed by the difference in temperature of two similar thermo- electric junctions, opposed.

When a magnetic field collapses rapidly, it induces an electromotive force, or voltage, in the circuit carrying the current responsible for the field.

Baker, stands for magnetohydrodynamics-a way of producing massive amounts of electromotive force in a very compact unit.

There were wires and connections which suggested an electromotive force, but that was all.

Not powered by the clean transformations of electromotive force, but by the clumsy building up and tearing down of molecules.
