armaturethe part of a machine that includes the main current-carrying winding and in which the electromotive force is induced, or the pivoting part of an electric device that is activated by a magnetic field
conductivityThe degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current. It is the reciprocal of the resistivity
conductivitiesThe degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current. It is the reciprocal of the resistivity
conductanceThe degree to which an object conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current that flows to the potential difference present. This is the reciprocal of the resistance, and is measured in siemens or mhos(. Symbol: G)
