VOLT, a mild silky cotton.

VOLT (Volta) Alessandro (1745-1827), italian physics and the physiologist, one of founders of the doctrine about an electricity. Has created the first chemical current source (1800, the voltaic pile). Has discovered a contact potential difference.

VOLT the ELEMENT, a galvanic cell, for which positive electrode - a copper plate, negative - zinc, an electrolyte - a solution of Sodium chloridum or sulfuric acid; electromotive force of 1,0 Century A.Voltoj Is offered.

The VOLT-AMPERE, SI unit of total power of an electric circuit alternating-current, i.e. power of an electric circuit at effective values of current intensity 1 And and pressure{voltage;stresses} of 1 Century Is meant V·A. Consider also the active power expressed in watts, and a reactive power expressed in pitches.

E-I CHARACTERISTIC, relation of pressure{voltage;stress} to a current (or a current from pressure{voltage;stress}) on a circuit portion; expresses routinely by the way the schedule{chart} or the table.

VOLTAMPEROMETRIJA, set{combination} of electrochemical methods of the quantitative and a qualitative analysis, is based on definition of relation between current intensity and polarization potential at an electrolysis of a solution or a melt of studied substance.

VOLTERRA (Volterra) Vito (1860-1940), italian mathematician, foreign corresponding member Petersburg AN (1908), foreign honorary member AN the USSR (1926). Transactionses on mathematical physics, integral and integro-differential equations, a functional analysis.

VOLTIZHERY (frants. voltigeurs), a kind{view} of a mild infantry in France in 1804-71, trained in neat shooting and management of investigation.

EQUESTRIAN VAULTING (voltizh)... 1) a kind{view} of equestrian sport and a horse circus (pereprygivanie, flight of a rider-type brush to the partner from the horse on the horse, etc.).... 2) the Kind{View} of dynamic acrobatics, gymnastics (belching of partners, flight from a trapezoid on a trapezoid, etc.).

The VOLTAGE METER, gauge meter of electromotive force or pressure{voltage;stress} (in mkV, mV, In, kV) in electric circuits; it is actuated in bridge to a load.

VOLTAIC ARC, the same, that an electric arc.

The BOOSTER TRANSFORMER, the electrical variable-ratio transformer which is powered up by the secondary coil in succession in a circuit of a secondary coil of other (main{basic}) transformer for regulation or a constant-voltage regulation in the load circuit.

VOLTURN, see. Evr.
