electro-, electr-, electri-
(Greek > Latin: electric, electricity; from amber, resembling amber, generated from amber which when rubbed vigorously [as by friction], produced the effect of static electricity)
Electronics in our lives consists of numerous tools
Equipment which we use everyday relies on electronics to function including calculators, car controls, cameras, washing machines, medical scanners, mobile telephones, radar systems, computers; as well as many other applications or devices which are listed in this unit.
A computer records and displays the pattern of the pulses generated by contact of the tongue with the electrodes.
2. The study of pathological conditions with the aid of an electric current used in measuring physical responses.
2. The treatment of illness with electricity.
2. An analysis of the proteins or nucleic acids in a virus mixture, as separated by electrophoresis.
2. A molecule, or compound, that doesn’t have enough electrons and will tend to take them from another molecule, or compound, with an excess of electrons.
3. A chemical species with an affinity for electrons and hence reactive with species rich in electrons.
4. An ion or molecule that has a partial or complete positive charge, so that it can accept an electron pair or share an electron pair with another atom.
2. Pertaining to any chemical process in which electrons are acquired from or shared with other molecules or ions.
3. Describing a substance with an electron deficiency.
4. Having an affinity for electrons whereby a bond is formed when an ion or molecule (the electrophilic agent) accepts a pair of electrons from a nucleophilic ion or molecule.
2. A reactant that accepts an electron pair from a molecule with which it forms a covalent bond (number of pairs of electrons an atom can share).
2. A reference to a chemical compound or group that is attracted to electrons and which tends to accept electrons.
3. Audible clicks induced by pulsed or modulated microwave frequencies.
The clicks are generated directly inside the human head without the need of any receiving electronic device.
2. The migration of colloidal particles under the influence of an applied electrical field.
A colloidal particle; such as, a protein molecule, has large numbers of positive and negative radicals which act as if they were on the surface.
Since protein molecules carry electric charges, they will migrate when subjected to an electric field.
3. The migration of dispersed solid, liquid, or gaseous material to one of two electrodes under the influence of an impressed direct-current voltage.The various types include paper, cascading electrodes, high voltage, gel, etc.
