- zinc a bluish-white lustrous metallic element; brittle at ordinary temperatures but malleable when heated; used in a wide variety of alloys and in galvanizing iron; it occurs naturally as zinc sulphide in zinc blende
- zn a bluish-white lustrous metallic element; brittle at ordinary temperatures but malleable when heated; used in a wide variety of alloys and in galvanizing iron; it occurs naturally as zinc sulphide in zinc blende
- moving-coil galvanometer a galvanometer that is operated by the force exerted by an electric current flowing in a movable coil suspended in a magnetic field
- atomic number 30 a bluish-white lustrous metallic element; brittle at ordinary temperatures but malleable when heated; used in a wide variety of alloys and in galvanizing iron; it occurs naturally as zinc sulphide in zinc blende
- galvanization either the work of covering with metal by the use of a galvanic current or the coating of iron with zinc to protect it from rusting
- chicken wire a galvanized wire network with a hexagonal mesh; used to build fences
- radiation pyrometer a pyrometer for estimating the temperature of distant sources of heat; radiation is focussed on a thermojunction connected in circuit with a galvanometer
- corrugated iron usually galvanized sheet iron or sheet steel shaped into straight parallel ridges and hollows
- galvanization stimulation with a galvanic current
- galvani Italian physiologist noted for his discovery that frogs' muscles contracted in an electric field (which led to the galvanic cell) (1737-1798)
