electric RAT<br />

electric RAT Ram-air turbine driving electric alternator<br />

or d.c. generator.<br />

electrics Generalised term for all electric power generation,<br />

control and services.<br />

electric starter Electric motor used to crank engine for<br />

starting.<br />

electric steel Steel made in electric furnace (induction or<br />

arc-type) which possesses uniform quality and higher<br />

strength than open-hearth steel of same carbon content.<br />

electric tachometer See tachogenerator.<br />

electric trim Trim tab[s] moved by electric motor [and<br />

usually irreversible screwjack].<br />

electric welding Welding by electric arc or passing large<br />

current through material.<br />

electric wind Emission of negative charge from sharp<br />

corner or point of conductor carrying high potential<br />

current. Also known as electric breeze.<br />

electrochemical machining Range of processes in which<br />

large direct current is passed through workpiece via<br />

shaped electrode in conductive electrolyte.<br />

electrochemical treatment Process involving application<br />

of electrical energy to produce chemical change in surface<br />

of material to be treated, such as anodization of<br />

aluminium alloys.<br />

electrochromatic Optically dimmable [transparency] by<br />

applied voltage.<br />

electrode 1 Terminal at which electricity passes from<br />

one medium into another; positive is called anode and<br />

negative cathode.<br />

2 Semiconductor element that performs one or more of<br />

the functions of emitting or collecting electrons or ions, or<br />

of controlling their movements by electric field.<br />

3 In electron tube, conducting element that performs<br />

one or more of the functions of emitting, collecting or<br />

controlling, by electro-magnetic field, movement of electrons<br />

or ions.<br />

electrodynamics Science dealing with forces and energy<br />

transformation of electric currents, and associated<br />

magnetic fields.<br />
