ELECTRICAL TERMS.

Low potential circuits or wires are such
as do not carry currents of more than $50
volts.
Two bodies in different electrical condi-
tions so that an attraction exists between
them are said to be at difference of poten-
tials.
Substances which seem to convey elec-
tricity readily or permit its passage are
called conductors. Those which do not are
called insulators-
A dynamo is an electromagnetic ma
chine in which the current it produces is
used to excite its own electro-magnet to
produce more current
An armature is mass Of iron or other
magnetizable material placed on or near
the pole or poles of magnet. In dynamo
it acts to magnetically correct the two
poles of the magnet
Induction is a term very frequently used
in talking about electricity. Induction is
where electricity is induced in conductor
merely by proximity to conductor that Is
charged with electricity.
An electric coil is a convolution Of insu-
lated wire through which an electric cur
rent may be passed. Induction coils are
parallel coils of insulated wire employed to
produce currents by electromagnetic in
duction.
A current is the flow of electricity, but it
must not be confounded with the mere act
of flowing. Electric current signifies rate
of flow and always supposes an electro
motive force to produce the current and q
resistance to oppose it.
