electrolytic
An electrolytic capacitor is used in the circuit board of a small electronic device.
Adjective:
- Of or relating to or containing an electrolyte: Describes something that involves, pertains to, or contains an electrolyte, which is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved or molten.
- Of or concerned with or produced by electrolysis: Describes something related to the process of electrolysis, which uses an electric current to drive a chemical reaction, or something that is a product of this process.
Noun:
- A fixed capacitor consisting of two electrodes separated by an electrolyte: A specific type of capacitor (an electronic component that stores electrical energy) where the dielectric material is an electrolyte.
Adjective:
- The scientist studied the electrolytic properties of various salt solutions. (This describes properties related to an electrolyte.)
- Aluminum is often produced through an electrolytic process. (This describes a process involving electrolysis.)
- They needed an electrolytic cell for the experiment. (This describes a cell that contains an electrolyte and is used for electrolysis.)
Noun:
- The circuit designer replaced the faulty electrolytic with a new one. (This refers to the capacitor component.)
- Be careful with the polarity when installing an electrolytic. (This is advice regarding the capacitor, which often has a positive and negative terminal.)
Electrolytic conduction: The process of electric charge transfer through ions in an electrolyte.
- The experiment demonstrated the principles of electrolytic conduction.
Electrolytic refining: A purification process for metals using electrolysis.
- Copper is purified through electrolytic refining.
Electrolyte (noun): A substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved.
- Sports drinks contain electrolytes to help with hydration.
Electrolysis (noun): A chemical decomposition process produced by passing an electric current through a liquid or solution containing ions.
- Hydrogen can be produced by the electrolysis of water.
Electrolytically (adverb): In a way that relates to or by means of electrolysis.
- The metal was electrolytically deposited onto the surface.
- Galvanic (adj): Pertaining to direct electric current, especially from a chemical reaction. (Note: This is related but not identical; "galvanic" often refers to the current source, while "electrolytic" refers to the process or components involved.)
- For the noun (capacitor): Capacitor, condenser.
Electrolytic capacitor: The full term for the noun definition.
- An electrolytic capacitor is commonly used in power supply circuits.
Electrolytic dissociation: The separation of a substance into ions in a solution.
- The concept of electrolytic dissociation is fundamental in chemistry.
